Interplay between BMP2 and Notch signaling in endothelial-mesenchymal transition: implications for cardiac fibrosis.
Article in Stem cell investigation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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: The endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) is a crucial process in cardiovascular development and disorders. Cardiac fibrosis, characterized by excessive collagen deposition, occurs in heart failure, leading to the organ remodeling. Embryonic signaling pathways such as bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and Notch are involved in its regulation. However, the interplay between these pathways in EndoMT remains unclear. Methods: This study investigates the downstream targets of Notch and BMP2 and their effect on EndoMT markers in cardiac mesenchymal cells (CMCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). We transduced cell cultures with vectors carrying intracellular domain of NOTCH1 ( Results: The results suggest that the Notch and BMP2 signaling pathways have common downstream targets that regulate EndoMT. The activation of BMP2 and Notch is highly dependent on cell type, and co-cultivation of CMCs and HUVECs produced opposing cellular responses to target gene expression and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) synthesis. Conclusions: The balance between Notch and BMP2 signaling determines the outcome of EndoMT and fibrosis in the heart. The study's findings highlight the need for further research to understand the interaction between Notch and BMP2 in the heart and develop new therapeutic strategies for treating cardiac fibrosis.
