Harnessing stem cell and lineage reprogramming technology to treat cardiac fibrosis.
Review in Cell regeneration (London, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cardiac fibrosis is a pathological response characterized by excessive deposition of fibrous connective tissue within the heart. It typically occurs following cardiac injuries or diseases. However, the lack of suitable models for disease modeling and high-throughput drug discovery has hindered the establishment of an effective treatments for cardiac fibrosis. The emergence and rapid progress of stem-cell and lineage reprogramming technology offer an unprecedented opportunity to develop an improved humanized and patient-specific model for studying cardiac fibrosis, providing a platform for screening potential drugs and synchronously elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, reprogramming cardiac fibroblasts into cardiomyocyte-like cells to reduce scar volume and induce myocardial tissue regeneration is a promising approach in treating cardiac fibrosis. In this review, we summarize the current advancements in stem cell technologies applied to study cardiac fibrosis and provide insights for future investigations into its mechanisms, drug discovery as well as therapy method.
