Identification of SALL4 Expressing Islet-1+ Cardiovascular Progenitor Cell Clones.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The utilization of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) has been shown to induce favorable regenerative effects. While there are various populations of endogenous CPCs in the heart, there is no consensus regarding which population is ideal for cell-based regenerative therapy. Early-stage progenitor cells can be differentiated into all cardiovascular lineages, including cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells. Identifying an Islet-1+ (Isl-1+) early-stage progenitor population with enhanced stemness, multipotency and differentiation potential would be beneficial for the development of novel regenerative therapies. Here, we investigated the transcriptome of human neonatal Isl-1+ CPCs. Isl-1+ human neonatal CPCs exhibit enhanced stemness properties and were found to express Spalt-like transcription factor 4 (SALL4). SALL4 plays a role in embryonic development as well as proliferation and expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells. SALL4, SOX2, EpCAM and TBX5 are co-expressed in the majority of Isl-1+ clones isolated from neonatal patients. The pre-mesendodermal transcript TFAP2C was identified in select Isl-1, SALL4, SOX2, EpCAM and TBX5 expressing clones. The ability to isolate and expand pre-mesendodermal stage cells from human patients is a novel finding that holds potential value for applications in regenerative medicine.
