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

Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) are commercially available, and cardiac differentiation established routine. Systematic evaluation of several control hiPSC-CM is lacking. We investigated 10 different control hiPSC-CM lines and analyzed function and suitability for drug screening. Five commercial and 5 academic hPSC-CM lines were casted in engineered heart tissue (EHT) format. Spontaneous and stimulated EHT contractions were analyzed, and 7 inotropic indicator compounds investigated on 8 cell lines. Baseline contractile force, kinetics, and rate varied widely among the different lines (e.g., relaxation time range: 118-471 ms). In contrast, the qualitative correctness of responses to BayK-8644, nifedipine, EMD-57033, isoprenaline, and digoxin in terms of force and kinetics varied only between 80% and 93%. Large baseline differences between control cell lines support the request for isogenic controls in disease modeling. Variability appears less relevant for drug screening but needs to be considered, arguing for studies with more than one line.
