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

Myocardial hypertrophy (MH) is a heart disease accompanied by mitochondrial energy disorder and oxidative stress for cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), with anti-inflammation and cytoprotection, is found to be negatively correlated with atrial apoptosis and fibrillation. Here, the effect and mechanism of MANF on MH are studied. Myocardial cell-specific MANF knockout (MKO) mice are constructed to establish transverse aortic constriction (TAC) or angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced MH model. MANF is found to be upregulated by MH and protects cardiomyocytes against TAC or Ang II-induced MH. Mechanistically, through single-cell RNA sequencing and metabolomics analysis, MANF in cardiomyocytes is closely involved in glycolysis-oxidative phosphorylation balance and mitochondrial homeostasis. Furthermore, MANF interacts with pro-apoptotic BAX to inhibit BAX mitochondrial translocation, subsequently decreasing mitochondrial damage, cytochrome c release, and cardiomyocyte death. These results indicate a promising clinical value of MANF for MH treatment, and also preliminarily define MANF's role in mitochondrial energy production and mitochondria-associated apoptosis pathway.
