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 embryonic development of sinus nodes (SAN) is co-regulated by multiple signaling pathways. Among these, the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and Wnt signaling pathways are involved in the development of SAN. In this study, the effects of BMP and Wnt signaling on the differentiation of SAN-like pacemaker cells (SANLPCs) were investigated. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were divided into four groups: control, BMP4, CHIR-3, and BMP4 + CHIR (CHIR: a Wnt signaling activator). The samples were tested at day (D) 15 of differentiation. The final protocol for the activation of BMP signaling at D0-D3 and reactivation of Wnt signaling at D5-D7 in the differentiation of hiPSCs were determined. The results showed that the mRNA levels of pacemaker markers (TBX18, SHOX2, TBX3, HCN4, and HCN1) were higher in the BMP4 + CHIR group than in the control group, and working myocardial genes were downregulated. The immunofluorescence assay revealed that the expression of SHOX2 and HCN4 increased in the BMP4 + CHIR group compared to that in the other groups. In addition, the results of patch clamps revealed that a funny current of higher density and typical SAN action potentials were recorded, except in the control group, in which the L-type calcium current was higher in the BMP4 + CHIR group than in the other groups. Finally, the proportion of SANLPCs (cTnT
