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

Chronic psychological stress is closely related to myocardial diseases, but the pathological processes and related mechanisms are not yet clear. In this study, 5 batches of animal experiments are conducted to reveal the pathological process of chronic psychological stress on the heart, and found that cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is an early manifestation of cardiac damage. Furthermore, it is discovered that corticosterone and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) play an important role in mediating this phenomenon. Additionally, a new direct target gene of GR, Lama5, is identified and confirmed in vivo and in vitro that the corticosterone-GR-LAMA5 axis is a significant pathway mediating chronic psychological stress-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Moreover, the potential of LAMA5 is validated as a biomarker for myocardial hypertrophy and impaired cardiac function in patients with depression. In summary, a novel hypertrophy-related gene, Lama5 has been identified, that may play an important role in chronic psychological stress-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
