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

Early activation and phenotypic transformation of monocytes and macrophages are essential for inflammatory activities and tissue repair following myocardial infarction (MI). However, the involvement of histone succinylation in monocyte phenotypic regulation during MI remains poorly understood. Here we show that succinylation, particularly histone H3K23succ, is significantly upregulated in monocytes from both MI patients and male mouse models, correlating with enhanced inflammatory responses. We further reveal that histone acetyltransferase 1 (Hat1) acts as a succinyltransferase essential for catalytic activity, and is upregulated together with histone succinylation in proinflammatory monocytes. Deficiency in Hat1 expression improves cardiac function, reduces infarct size, and suppresses inflammatory responses in infarcted hearts after MI. Mechanistically, Hat1 modulates chromatin accessibility and recruits H3K23 succinylation to regulate proinflammatory gene expression in monocytes and macrophages post-MI. Our study reveals a critical role for histone succinylation in early MI progression and establishes that Hat1 acts as an epigenetic regulator promoting proinflammatory monocyte transformation, highlighting its therapeutic potential for MI treatment.
