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 Hippo-YAP (Yes-associated protein) pathway is an evolutionarily and functionally conserved regulator of organ size and growth with crucial roles in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. This pathway has great potential for therapeutic manipulation in different disease states and to promote organ regeneration. In this Review, we summarize findings from the past decade revealing the function and regulation of the Hippo-YAP pathway in cardiac development, growth, homeostasis, disease, and regeneration. In particular, we highlight the roles of the Hippo-YAP pathway in endogenous heart muscle renewal, including the pivotal role of the Hippo-YAP pathway in regulating cardiomyocyte proliferation and differentiation, stress response, and mechanical signalling. The human heart lacks the capacity to self-repair; therefore, the loss of cardiomyocytes after injury such as myocardial infarction can result in heart failure and death. Despite substantial advances in the treatment of heart failure, an enormous unmet clinical need exists for alternative treatment options. Targeting the Hippo-YAP pathway has tremendous potential for developing therapeutic strategies for cardiac repair and regeneration for currently intractable cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure. The lessons learned from cardiac repair and regeneration studies will also bring new insights into the regeneration of other tissues with limited regenerative capacity.
