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 increasing use of single-cell immune profiling and advanced microscopic imaging technologies has deepened our understanding of the cardiac immune system, confirming that the heart contains a broad repertoire of innate and adaptive immune cells. Leucocytes found in the healthy heart participate in essential functions to preserve cardiac homeostasis, not only by defending against pathogens but also by maintaining normal organ function. In pathophysiological conditions, cardiac inflammation is implicated in healing responses after ischaemic or non-ischaemic cardiac injury. The aim of this review is to provide a concise overview of novel methodological advancements to the non-expert readership and summarize novel findings on immune cell heterogeneity and functions in cardiac disease with a focus on myocardial infarction as a prototypic example. In addition, we will briefly discuss how biological sex modulate the cardiac immune response. Finally, we will highlight emerging concepts for novel therapeutic applications, such as targeting immunometabolism and nanomedicine.
