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

As treatments for myocardial infarction (MI) continue to improve, the population of people suffering from heart failure (HF) is rising significantly. Novel treatment strategies aimed at achieving long-term functional stabilisation and improvement in heart function post MI include the delivery of biomaterial hydrogels and myocardial matrix-based therapies to the left ventricle wall. Individually alginate hydrogels and myocardial matrix-based therapies are at the most advanced stages of commercial/clinical development for this potential treatment option. However, despite these individual successes, the potential synergistic effect gained by combining the two therapies remains unexplored. This study serves as a translational step in evaluating the minimally invasive delivery of dual acting alginate-based hydrogels to the heart. We have successfully developed new production methods for hybrid alginate/extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogels. We have identified that the high G block alginate/ECM hybrid hydrogel has appropriate rheological and mechanical properties (1.6 KPa storage modulus, 29 KPa compressive modulus and 14 KPa dynamic modulus at day 1) and can be delivered using a minimally invasive delivery device. Furthermore, we have determined that these novel hydrogels are not cytotoxic and are capable of enhancing the metabolic activity of dermal fibroblasts in vitro (p < 0.01). Overall these results suggest that an effective minimally invasive HF treatment option could be achieved by combining alginate and ECM particles.
