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

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of heart failure. Mitochondrial transplantation has been demonstrated to be able to restore heart function, but its mechanism of action remains unresolved. Using an in-house optimized mitochondrial isolation method, we tested efficacy of mitochondria transplantation in two different heart failure models. First, using a doxorubicin-induced heart failure model, we demonstrate that mitochondrial transplantation before doxorubicin challenge protects cardiac function in vivo and prevents myocardial apoptosis, but contraction improvement relies on the metabolic compatibility between transplanted mitochondria and treated cardiomyocytes. Second, using a mutation-driven dilated cardiomyopathic human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte model, we demonstrate that mitochondrial transplantation preferentially boosts contraction in the ventricular myocytes. Last, using single-cell RNA-seq, we show that mitochondria transplantation boosts contractility in dystrophic cardiomyocytes with few transcriptomic alterations. Together, we provide evidence that mitochondria transplantation confers myocardial protection and may serve as a potential therapeutic option for heart failure.
