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

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (CMG cells) are multipotent and can be induced by 5-azacytidine to differentiate into cardiomyocytes. We characterized the electrophysiological properties of these cardiomyocytes and investigated their potential for use as transplantable bio-pacemakers. After differentiation, action potentials in spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes were initially sinus node-like, but subsequently became ventricular cardiomyocyte-like. RT-PCR established that ion channels mediating I(K1) and I(Kr) were expressed before differentiation. After differentiation, ion channels underlying ICa,L and If were expressed first, followed by ion channels mediating I(to) and I(K,ATP). Differentiated CMG cells expressed beta-adrenergic receptors and increased their beat rate in response to isoproterenol. CMG cardiomyocytes were purified using GFP fluorescence and transplanted into the free walls of the left ventricles of mice. The transplanted cardiomyocytes survived and connected to surrounding recipient cardiomyocytes via intercalated discs. Although further innovation is required, the present findings provide evidence of the potential for bone marrow-derived cardiomyocytes to be used as bio-pacemakers.
