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

Professor Christine Mummery has pioneered the use of pluripotent stem cell models to investigate heart development and disease, and pushed the boundaries of what can be achieved with these versatile cells. In 2008, she became Chair of Developmental Biology at Leiden University Medical Centre, where she has refined and advanced in vitro models of the heart and now harnesses their clinical potential to screen drugs and personalise treatments for patients with various types of heart disease. Christine has become integral to the stem cell community by promoting cross-disciplinary research and serving on several Ethical Councils, Scientific Advisory Boards and Editorial Boards. Her influence in the field of stem cell research led her to become the president of International Society for Stem Cell Research in 2020, and she has won numerous awards, including the Hans Bloemendal Medal 2014 for innovative interdisciplinary research, with Gordon Keller, the prestigious Lefoulon-Delalande Prize 2021 and the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Public Service Award 2023. In this interview, Christine shares her career trajectory, how disease modelling is shifting towards advanced in vitro systems and what challenges the field has yet to overcome.
