Mitigation of Fibrosis after Myocardial Infarction in Rats by Using a Porcine Cholecyst Extracellular Matrix.
Article in Comparative medicine, 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
Fibrosis that occurs after nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) is an irreversible reparative cardiac tissue remodeling process characterized by progressive deposition of highly cross-linked type I collagen. No currently available therapeutic strategy prevents or reverses MI-associated fibrotic scarring of myocardium. In this study, we used an epicardial graft prepared of porcine cholecystic extracellular matrix to treat experimental nonfatal MI in rats. Graft-assisted healing was characterized by reduced fibrosis, with scanty deposition of type I collagen. Histologically, the tissue response was associated with a favorable regenerative reaction predominated by CD4-positive helper T lymphocytes, enhanced angiogenesis, and infiltration of proliferating cells. These observations indicate that porcine cholecystic extracellular matrix delayed the fibrotic reaction and support its use as a potential biomaterial for mitigating fibrosis after MI. Delaying the progression of cardiac tissue remodeling may widen the therapeutic window for management of scarring after MI.
