Nano-structural analysis of engrafted human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes in mouse hearts using a genetic-probe APEX2.
Article in Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 2018. 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
Many studies have shown the feasibility of in vivo cardiac transplantation of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) in animal experiments. However, nano-structural confirmation of the successful incorporation of the engrafted iPSC-CMs including electron microscopy (EM) has not been accomplished, partly because identification of graft cells in EM has proven to be difficult. Using APEX2, an engineered ascorbate peroxidase imaging tag, we successfully localized and analyzed the fine structure of sarcomeres and the excitation contraction machinery of iPSC-CMs 6 months after their engraftment in infarcted mouse hearts. APEX2 made iPSC-CMs visible in multiple imaging modalities including light microscopy, X-ray microscopic tomography, transmission EM, and scanning EM. EM tomography allowed assessment of the differentiation state of APEX2-positive iPSC-CMs and analysis of the fine structure of the sarcomeres including T-tubules and dyads.
