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

Centrosome reduction and redistribution of pericentriolar material (PCM) coincides with cardiomyocyte transitions to a post-mitotic and matured state. However, it is unclear whether centrosome changes are a cause or consequence of terminal differentiation. We validated that centrosomes were intact and functional in proliferative human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs), consistent with their immature phenotype. We generated acentrosomal hPSC-CMs, through pharmacological inhibition of centriole duplication, and showed that centrosome loss was sufficient to promote post-mitotic transitions and aspects of cardiomyocyte maturation. As Hippo kinases are activated during post-natal cardiac maturation, we pharmacologically activated the Hippo pathway using C19, which was sufficient to trigger centrosome disassembly and relocalization of PCM components to perinuclear membranes. This was due to specific activation of Hippo kinases, as direct inhibition of YAP-TEAD interactions with verteporfin had no effect on centrosome organization. This suggests that Hippo kinase-centrosome remodeling may play a direct role in cardiac maturation.
