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

Following myocardial infarction, damaged myocardium is replaced with a fibrotic scar that preserves cardiac structural integrity. Scar area measured from sample 2D images of serial heart sections does not faithfully measure the extent of fibrosis due to structural heterogeneity caused by tissue dynamics. Here, we present an X-ray microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) workflow that generates accurate volumetric quantification of scar and surviving myocardium in infarcted mouse hearts. This workflow could be applied to other fibrotic organs or hearts from other species. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Janbandhu et al. (2021).
