Female Cardioprotection in a Mouse Model of Alcohol-Associated Cardiomyopathy.

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.
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 alcohol misuse is the leading cause of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, and the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of alcohol-associated cardiomyopathy (ACM), particularly regarding sex-specific susceptibility and mitochondrial contributions, are not fully known. In this study, we utilized a preclinical model of chronic + binge ethanol consumption to investigate sex differences in disease severity and mitochondrial function. Male and female C57BL/6J mice were fed ethanol or control liquid diets for 30 days, with 2 binge episodes on days 10 and 30. Cardiac morphology was assessed via echocardiography and cardiac function via left ventricular pressure-volume catheterization. Mitochondrial function was evaluated ex vivo using Seahorse XF analysis, ATP luminescence, and AmplexTM Red fluorescence in isolated ventricular mitochondria. Ethanol feeding induced significant cardiac dysfunction and increased transcriptional expression of inflammatory and fibrotic markers in males, while these effects were not seen in females. Despite these sex-specific cardiac effects, mitochondrial respiration, ATP production, collagen protein expression, and oxidative stress were not significantly altered following alcohol exposure in either sex. Further investigation is warranted to assess the potential role of ovarian hormones in this female cardioprotection against chronic + binge ethanol.
