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

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. Ventricular dysfunction and cardiac arrhythmias are well-documented complications in patients with repaired TOF. Whether intrinsic abnormalities exist in TOF cardiomyocytes is unknown. We establish human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from TOF patients with and without DiGeorge (DG) syndrome, the latter being the most commonly associated syndromal association of TOF. TOF-DG hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) show impaired ventricular specification, downregulated cardiac gene expression and upregulated neural gene expression. Transcriptomic profiling of the in vitro cardiac progenitors reveals early bifurcation, as marked by ectopic RGS13 expression, in the trajectory of TOF-DG-hiPSC cardiac differentiation. Functional assessments further reveal increased arrhythmogenicity in TOF-DG-hiPSC-CMs. These findings are found only in the TOF-DG but not TOF-with no DG (ND) patient-derived hiPSC-CMs and cardiac progenitors (CPs), which have implications on the worse clinical outcomes of TOF-DG patients.
