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

The human sub-epicardial area contains an unexplored cellular population under a layer of mesothelial cells. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the existence of interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLCs), isolated smooth muscle cells (iSMC) and mesenchymal cells besides other well-known cells. The presence of iSMC in the sub-epicardial space is quite unique and could explain why epicardial-derived cells isolated from human epicardium generate smooth muscle cells in culture. Mesenchymal cells, guided by ICLCs, were found migrating from sub-epicardial area in the mesothelial layer. These findings suggest that epithelial-mesenchymal transition is not a common process involved in cardiac regeneration in vivo.
