Transcatheter targeted myocardial restoration using hydrogel-based cell-free compound: Toward an adoptable clinical protocol.
Article in JTCVS open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: There is a need for a targeted, comprehensive, minimally invasive myocardial restoration treatment aimed at patients with chronic postinfarction heart failure that can provide a sustained effect and be conveniently adopted with transcatheter techniques. Here we evaluated the effectiveness of a platelet-rich plasma hydrogel-based, cell-free therapeutic compound delivered with the aid of a 3-dimensional electromechanical mapping and catheter-based technique (NOGA) in a porcine translational model. Methods: We assessed the feasibility of targeted, minimally invasive transcatheter NOGA-guided injections of the therapeutic compound in myocardial infarction (MI) survivors at 8 weeks post-MI. Results: Animals undergoing NOGA-guided hydrogel injections at 8 weeks post-MI demonstrated a significant improvement of the selected left ventricular parameters at a 12-week follow-up. Compared to nonintervention, the hydrogel-based therapy provided significant improvements in end-diastolic volume (-11.0% ± 11.1% vs 6.3% ± 15.2%; Conclusions: The study implies a translational potential of the hydrogel-based therapy and should trigger clinical trials focused on establishing a restoration therapy that can be integrated into a clinical protocol.
