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

Maturation of human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hESC-CM) is accompanied by changes in ion channel expression, with relevant electrophysiological consequences. In rodent CM, the properties of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (HCN)4, a major f-channel isoform, depends on the association with caveolin-3 (Cav3). To date, no information exists on changes in Cav3 expression and its associative relationship with HCN4 upon hESC-CM maturation. We hypothesize that Cav3 expression and its compartmentalization with HCN4 channels during hESC-CM maturation accounts for the progression of f-current properties toward adult phenotypes. To address this, hESC were differentiated into spontaneously beating CM and examined at ∼30, ∼60, and ∼110 days of differentiation. Human adult and fetal CM served as references. HCN4 and Cav3 expression and localization were analyzed by real time PCR and immunocyto/histochemistry. F-current was measured in patch-clamped single cells. HCN4 and Cav3 colocalize in adult human atrial and ventricular CM, but not in fetal CM. Proteins and mRNA for Cav3 were not detected in undifferentiated hESC, but expression increased during hESC-CM maturation. At 110 days, HCN4 appeared to be colocalized with Cav3. Voltage-dependent activation of the f-current was significantly more positive in fetal CM and 60-day hESC-CM (midpoint activation, V1/2, ∼ -82 mV) than in 110-day hESC-CM or adult CM (V1/2∼-100 mV). In the latter cells, caveolae disruption reversed voltage dependence toward a more positive or an immature phenotype, with V1/2 at -75 mV, while in fetal CM voltage dependence was not affected. Our data show, for the first time, a developmental change in HCN4-Cav3 association in hESC-CM. Cav3 expression and its association with ionic channels likely represent a crucial step of cardiac maturation.
