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

backgroundDRP1 (dynamin-related protein 1) mediates mitochondrial fission and permits rapid cell cycle progression in hyperproliferative cells by coordinating nuclear and mitochondrial division, a process called mitotic fission. However, DRP1 alone appears insufficient to complete fission, and the link between fission and cell cycle progression is unknown. We hypothesize that DNM2 (dynamin 2) interacts with DRP1 to complete mitochondrial fission and regulate cell cycle progression. We show that DNM2 is upregulated in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) in human and rodent pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), contributing to disease pathophysiology.

methodsMitochondrial morphology, protein colocalization, and fission were assessed using stimulated emission depletion microscopy, protein interactions by immunoprecipitation, and transcriptomics by RNA sequencing. DNM2 was quantified in PASMC and lungs from patients with PAH and rats with pulmonary hypertension (PH), induced by monocrotaline or sugen5416/hypoxia. siDNM2's effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry. Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on publicly available data sets. siDNM2 was nebulized to monocrotaline- and sugen5416/hypoxia-PH rats, and disease regression was quantified by cardiac catheterization and histology.

resultsDNM2 is increased in PAH PASMC. DNM2 interacts with DRP1 via its GTPase domain, permitting mitochondrial translocation and promoting fission. siDNM2 inhibits fission and cell proliferation and increases apoptosis. siDNM2 causes G1/G0 blockade by downregulating RGCC (regulator of cell cycle) with downstream effects on CDK (cyclin-dependent kinase) 4, cyclin D1, and p27

conclusionsDNM2 is a mediator in the terminal steps of DRP1-dependent fission and constitutes a novel therapeutic target in PAH.
