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

Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome caused by structural or functional abnormalities in heart. Egr2 has been reported to be protective for multiple diseases, but its effect on HF remains unknown. The present study intended to investigate the potential role of Egr2 in HF and its possible downstream effectors. High Egr2 expression in heart was observed in HF mice. Egr2 knockdown alleviated cardiac damage and function in HF mice. Egr2 knockdown inhibited myocardial inflammation and apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro. Egr2 inhibited Acot1 transcription expression via directly binding to its promoter. Acot1 overexpression reduced Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiomyocyte inflammation and apoptosis. Functional rescue experiments revealed that Acot1 reversed the effects of Egr2 on LPS-induced cell apoptosis and inflammation. Overall, Egr2 knockdown might ameliorate HF by inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes by targeting Acot1. This study might provide evidence to better understand the molecular mechanisms of HF pathogenesis.
