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 adult zebrafish is capable of regenerating heart muscle, resolving collagen tissue, and fully restoring heart function throughout its life. In this study, we show that the highly upregulated, epicardium-enriched microRNA let-7i functions in wound closure and cardiomyocyte proliferation. RNA sequencing experiments identified upregulated expression of members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway in the absence of let-7. Importantly, co-suppression of TNF and let-7 activity rescued epicardium migration and cardiomyocyte proliferation defects induced by depletion of let-7 alone. Sensitizing animals to low levels of TNF activity before injury culminated in repressed cardiomyocyte proliferation and wound closure defects, suggesting that levels of inflammation at the onset of injury are critical for heart regeneration. Our studies indicate that injury-induced reduction in TNF signaling by let-7 in the epicardium creates a pro-regenerative environment for cardiomyocyte proliferation during adult heart regeneration.
