Transcriptomic Analysis of Mineralized Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Tissues for Calcific Valve Disease Modelling.

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
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is characterized by the fibrosis and mineralization of the aortic valve, which leads to aortic stenosis and heart failure. At the cellular level, this is due to the osteoblastic-like differentiation of valve interstitial cells (VICs), resulting in the calcification of the tissue. Unfortunately, human VICs are not readily available to study CAVD pathogenesis and the implicated mechanisms in vitro; however, adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs), carrying the patient's specific genomic features, have emerged as a promising cell source to model cardiovascular diseases due to their multipotent nature, availability, and patient-specific characteristics. In this study, we describe a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of tissue-engineered, scaffold-free, ASC-embedded mineralized tissue sheets using bulk RNA sequencing. Bioinformatic and gene set enrichment analyses revealed the up-regulation of genes associated with the organization of the extracellular matrix (ECM), suggesting that the ECM could play a vital role in the enhanced mineralization observed in these tissue-engineered ASC-embedded sheets. Upon comparison with publicly available gene expression datasets from CAVD patients, striking similarities emerged regarding cardiovascular diseases and ECM functions, suggesting a potential link between ECM gene expression and CAVDs pathogenesis. A matrisome-related sub-analysis revealed the ECM microenvironment promotes the transcriptional activation of the master gene runt-related transcription factor 2 (
