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

aimsProtein glycosylation regulated by glycosyltransferases is an important type of post-translational modification. The role of the glycosyltransferase genes (GTGs) in heart failure (HF) remains unclear and requires further investigation.

methodsDifferential expression analysis was performed on the transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-related dataset GSE36074 to screen out the differentially expressed GTGs. Enrichment and protein-protein interaction analyses explored their functional mechanisms and interconnections. Pearson correlation analysis revealed the relationship between GTGs and pathological cardiac remodelling. The upstream miRNAs of GTGs were predicted using corresponding online databases, and the downstream target genes were identified by weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). Computer virtual screening and molecular docking predicted potential therapeutic drugs. The identified GTGs were validated in vivo, in vitro and in the human HF-related dataset GSE57338.

resultsTwenty-one differentially expressed GTGs were identified, and these genes were significantly up-regulated in the TAC model except for C1galt1, Extl2 and Pigh. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that 11 GTGs were significantly associated with pathological cardiac remodelling. Fifty-six miRNAs and 31 drugs were predicted to target these GTGs. WGCNA indicated that these GTGs were associated with lipid metabolism-related genes and pathways. Up-regulation of B3gnt9, C1galt1, Gcnt1, Gxylt2 and Mgat5b was observed in the TAC model. GXYLT2 is up-regulated and has high disease-predictive value in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Knockdown of GXYLT2 in human AC16 cardiomyocytes significantly attenuated angiotensin II (AngII)-induced hypertrophy.

conclusionsDysregulation of GTG expression may affect TAC-induced HF through metabolic pathways, and GXYLT2 may be a new potential therapeutic target for HF.
