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

aimsThe precise cellular identity and molecular features of non-myocytes (non-CMs) in a mammalian heart at a single-cell level remain elusive. Depiction of epigenetic landscape with transcriptomic signatures using the latest single-cell multi-omics has the potential to unravel the molecular programs underlying the cellular diversity of cardiac non-myocytes. Here, we characterized the molecular and cellular features of cardiac non-CM populations in the adult murine heart at the single-cell level. METHODS AND

resultsThrough single-cell dual omics analysis, we mapped the epigenetic landscapes, characterized the transcriptomic profiles and delineated the molecular signatures of cardiac non-CMs in the adult murine heart. Distinct cis-regulatory elements and trans-acting factors for the individual major non-CM cell types (endothelial cells, fibroblast, pericytes, and immune cells) were identified. In particular, unbiased sub-clustering and functional annotation of cardiac fibroblasts (FBs) revealed extensive FB heterogeneity and identified FB sub-types with functional states related to the cellular response to stimuli, cytoskeleton organization, and immune regulation, respectively. We further explored the function of marker genes Hsd11b1 and Gfpt2 that label major FB subpopulations and determined the distribution of Hsd11b1+ and Gfp2+ FBs in murine healthy and diseased hearts.

conclusionsIn summary, we characterized the non-CM cellular identity at the transcriptome and epigenome levels using single-cell omics approaches and discovered previously unrecognized cardiac fibroblast subpopulations with unique functional states.
