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

Stem cells represent an old niche with various new potential therapeutics. Besides drug treatment, reperfusion procedures and surgical revascularization, stem cell therapy could be a good option in ischemic cardiac diseases. A study was performed on a small group of cases who died of cardiac arrhythmia secondary to scarring myocardial infarctions. Tissue cardiac samples were taken from these cases (from the anterior and lateral wall of the left ventricle), for microscopy examination, in order to investigate the presence of cardiac stem cells (CSC). Multiple series of histological sections were also performed and examined, along with immunohistochemical analysis (IHC). The cells were identified in close contact with the residual ischemic cardiomyocytes, in the proximity of the myocardial collagenous scar, in old myocardial infarctions. They were activated by hypoxic ischemia and were influenced by the capillary microvascular density and the interstitial micro-environment conditions. In chronic intermittent ischemia they seem to turn themselves from dormant quiescent cells into activated progenitor committed cells.
