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 generation of cardiomyocytes (CMs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) represents a valuable tool for a myriad of in vitro applications, including drug screening, disease modeling and regenerative medicine. However, the success of these applications is dependent on the establishment of reliable, efficient, simple, and cost-effective differentiation methods. In this chapter, we describe an efficient and robust 3D platform for the generation of hPSC-CMs based on the use of a microwell culture system, which can be applied in any laboratory environment. Additionally, we will also describe protocols for the structural and functional characterization of the obtained CMs for further quality control upon differentiation.
