Advanced Glycation End Products Impair Cardiac Atrial Appendage Stem Cells Properties.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundDuring myocardial infarction (MI), billions of cardiomyocytes are lost. The optimal therapy should effectively replace damaged cardiomyocytes, possibly with stem cells able to engraft and differentiate into adult functional cardiomyocytes. As such, cardiac atrial appendage stem cells (CASCs) are suitable candidates. However, the presence of elevated levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in cardiac regions where CASCs are transplanted may affect their regenerative potential. In this study, we examine whether and how AGEs alter CASCs properties in vitro. METHODS AND
resultsCASCs in culture were exposed to ranging AGEs concentrations (50 µg/mL to 400 µg/mL). CASCs survival, proliferation, and migration capacity were significantly decreased after 72 h of AGEs exposure. Apoptosis significantly increased with rising AGEs concentration. The harmful effects of these AGEs were partially blunted by pre-incubation with a receptor for AGEs (RAGE) inhibitor (25 µM FPS-ZM1), indicating the involvement of RAGE in the observed negative effects.
conclusionAGEs have a time- and concentration-dependent negative effect on CASCs survival, proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in vitro, partially mediated through RAGE activation. Whether anti-AGEs therapies are an effective treatment in the setting of stem cell therapy after MI warrants further examination.
