1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is a primary myocardial disease and a major cause of sudden death in all populations of the world. Canonical Wnt signalling is a critical pathway controlling numerous processes including cellular differentiation, hypertrophy and development. GSK3β is a ubiquitous serine/threonine kinase, which acts downstream of Wnt to promote protein ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Several studies now suggest that inhibiting GSK3β can prevent and reverse key pathognomonic features of ACM in a range of experimental models. However, varying concerns are reported throughout the literature including the risk of paradoxical arrhythmias, cancer and off-target effects in upstream or downstream pathways. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In light of the start of the phase 2 TaRGET clinical trial, designed to evaluate the potential therapeutic efficacy of GSK3β inhibition in patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, this report aims to review the advantages and disadvantages of this strategy.
