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

Differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to cardiomyocytes is influenced by culture conditions including the extracellular matrices or similar synthetic scaffolds on which they are grown. However, the molecular mechanisms that link the scaffold with differentiation outcomes are not fully known. Here, we determined by immunofluorescence staining and mass spectrometry approaches that extracellular matrix (ECM) engagement by mouse pluripotent stem cells activates critical components of canonical wingless/integrated (Wnt) signaling pathways via kinases of the focal adhesion to drive cardiomyogenesis. These kinases were found to be differentially activated depending on type of ECM engaged. These outcomes begin to explain how varied ECM composition of in vivo tissues with development and in vitro model systems gives rise to different mature cell types, having broad practical applicability for the design of engineered tissues.
