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

Cardiomyocytes are a stable cell population with only limited potential for renewal after injury. Tissue regeneration may be due to infiltration of stem cells, which differentiate into cardiomyocytes. We have analysed the influx of stem cells in the heart of patients who received either a gender-mismatched BMT (male donor to female recipient) or a gender-mismatched cardiac transplant (HTX; female donor to male recipient). The proportion of infiltrating cells was determined by Y-chromosome in situ hybridization combined with immunohistochemical cell characterization. In BM transplanted patients and in cardiac allotransplant recipients, cardiomyocytes of apparent BM origin were detected. The proportions were similar in both groups and amounted up to 1% of all cardiomyocytes. The number of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes did not alter significantly in time, but were relatively high in cases where large numbers of BM-derived Y-chromosome-positive infiltrating inflammatory cells were present. The number of Y-chromosome-positive endothelial cells was small and present only in small blood vessels. The number of BM-derived cardiomyocytes in both BMT and HTX is not significantly different between the two types of transplantation and is at most 1%.
