Review in JACC. Basic to translational science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Immunotherapy is a potential cornerstone in the treatment of myocardial fibrosis. During a myocardial insult or heart failure, danger signals stimulate innate immune cells to produce chemokines and profibrotic cytokines, which initiate self-escalating inflammatory processes by attracting and stimulating adaptive immune cells. Stimulation of fibroblasts by inflammatory processes and the need to replace damaged cardiomyocytes fosters reshaping of the cardiac fibroblast landscape. In this review, we discuss new immunomodulatory strategies that manipulate and direct cardiac fibroblast activation and differentiation. In particular, we highlight immunomodulatory strategies that target fibroblasts such as chimeric antigen receptor T cells, interleukin-11, and invariant natural killer T-cells. Moreover, we discuss the potential of manipulating both innate and adaptive immune system components for the translation into clinical validation. Clearly, multiple pathways should be considered to develop innovative approaches to ameliorate myocardial fibrosis and hence to reduce the risk of heart failure.
