Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

For decades, stem cells and their byproducts have shown efficacy in repairing tissues and organs in numerous pre-clinical studies and some clinical trials, providing hope for possible cures for many important diseases. However, the translation of stem cell therapy for heart diseases from bench to bed is still hampered by several limitations. The therapeutic benefits of stem cells are mediated by a combo of mechanisms. In this review, we will provide a brief summary of stem cell therapies for ischemic heart disease. Basically, we will talk about these barriers for the clinical application of stem cell-based therapies, the investigation of mechanisms behind stem-cell based cardiac regeneration and also, what bioengineers can do and have been doing on the translational stage of stem cell therapies for heart repair.
