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 development of the ventricular myocardial trabeculae occurs in three steps: emergence, trabeculation and remodeling. The whole process has been described in vertebrates with two different myocardial structural types, spongy (zebrafish) and compact (chicken and mouse). In this context, two alternative mechanisms of myocardial trabeculae emergence have been identified: (1) in chicken and mouse, the endocardial cells invade the two-layered myocardium; (2) in zebrafish, cardiomyocytes from the monolayered myocardium invaginate towards the endocardium. Currently, the process has not been studied in detail in vertebrates having a mixed type of ventricular myocardium, with an inner trabecular and an outer compact layer, which is presumptively the most primitive morphology in gnathostomes. We studied the formation of the mixed ventricular myocardium in the lesser spotted dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula, Elasmobranchii), using light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Our results show that early formation of the mixed ventricular myocardium, specifically the emergence and the trabeculation steps, is driven by an endocardial invasion of the myocardium. The mechanism of trabeculation of the mixed ventricular myocardium in chondrichthyans is the one that best reproduces how this developmental process has been established from the beginning of the gnathostome radiation. The process has been apparently preserved throughout the entire group of sarcopterygians, including birds and mammals. In contrast, teleosts, at least those possessing a mostly spongy ventricular myocardium, seem to have introduced notable changes in their myocardial trabeculae development.
