Urocortin 3 Gene Transfer Increases Function of the Failing Murine Heart.
Article in Human gene therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Peptide infusions of peptides the corticotropin releasing factor family, including urocortin 2, stresscopin, and urocortin 3 (UCn3), have favorable acute effects in clinical heart failure (HF), but their short half-lives make them unsuitable for chronic therapy. This study asked whether UCn3 gene transfer, which provides sustained elevation of plasma UCn3 levels, increases the function of the failing heart. HF was induced by transmural left ventricular (LV) cryoinjury in mice. LV function was assessed 3 weeks later by echocardiography. Those with ejection fractions (EF) <40% received intravenous saline or intravenous adeno-associated virus type-8 encoding murine UCn3 (AAV8.mUCn3; 1.9 × 10
