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

backgroundThe neonatal heart possesses the unique power to regenerate in response to resection of the left ventricular apex. We sought to determine whether the type of injury affects the mode of repair and regeneration. METHODS AND

resultsApical resection, or permanent left anterior descending coronary artery ligation, was induced in neonatal 1-day-old mice. Echocardiography was used to confirm and monitor cardiac injury and remodeling. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations of the resected and infarcted neonatal hearts revealed inflammation and granulation tissue formation. From day 3, early regeneration was identified at the injured sites and was characterized by dedifferentiation and proliferation of cardiomyocytes around the injured areas. The young cardiomyocytes infiltrated the granulation tissue and replaced it with a new myocardium. The ability of neonatal cardiomyocytes to proliferate was confirmed in neonatal heart organ cultures. Notably, myocardial infarction in neonatal mouse produced incomplete regeneration with a residual small infarct and, sometimes, aneurysm at 28 days after myocardial infarction. We then repeated the same experiments in the adult heart. Remarkably, myocardial infarction in the adult mouse heart produced a typical thin scar, whereas apical resection revealed an abnormal, epicardial, hemorrhagic scar 21 days after injury.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that the type of injury, resection, or infarction affects the mode of repair in both neonatal and adult mouse hearts. Identifying the differences in the mechanisms or repair of these 2 types of injuries could help to develop novel regenerative therapies relevant to human patients.
