UBA1 promotes cardiac hypertrophy by suppressing autophagy via targeting ATG5 for ubiquitination.
Article in Cell communication and signaling : CCS, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPathological cardiac hypertrophy frequently leads to heart failure (HF). UBA1, the key E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme, initiates ubiquitin-proteasome signaling and contributes to various diseases, yet its mechanism in cardiac hypertrophy remains unclear.
methodsCardiac hypertrophy model was induced by either Ang II stimulation or TAC in vitro and in vivo. Mice received rAAV9-UBA1-siRNA or rAAV9-UBA1 for UBA1 knockdown or overexpression, respectively.
resultsWe found UBA1 upregulated in murine and human hypertrophic hearts. Cardiomyocyte-specific UBA1 knockdown protected against TAC-induced hypertrophy, fibrosis, oxidative stress, and dysfunction, with downregulation of ATG5 and autophagy induction, whereas myocardial UBA1 overexpression exacerbated these effects. Mechanistically, UBA1 directly interacted with ATG5 and promoted its ubiquitination for degradation, leading to autophagy inactivation and hypertrophy. Furthermore, ATG5 deletion abrogated the protection of UBA1 knockdown against cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
conclusionsUBA1 regulates cardiac hypertrophy through suppression of ATG5-mediated autophagy and propose UBA1 as a therapeutic target for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
