Accumulation of endogenous Muse cells in the myocardium and its pathophysiological role in patients with fulminant myocarditis.
Article in Clinical and translational science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Multi-lineage differentiating stress-enduring (Muse) cells, identified as pluripotent surface marker SSEA-3(+) cells, are stress tolerant endogenous pluripotent-like stem cells, and are involved in tissue repair. However, the significance of Muse cells in acute myocarditis has not been evaluated. In the present study, we counted Muse cells/area in biopsied myocardial tissue samples from 17 patients with fulminant myocarditis, and 6 with non-inflammatory myocardial disease as controls. Compared with controls, patients with fulminant myocarditis had significantly more Muse cells (p = 0.00042). Patients with mechanical circulatory support (p = 0.006) and myocardial degeneration (p = 0.023) had significantly more Muse cells than those without them. The Muse cell number was correlated with acute phase CK-MB level (ρ = 0.547, p = 0.029), indicating the severity of myocardial injury, and was also correlated with acute/recovery phase ratio of CK-MB (ρ = 0.585, p = 0.023) and cardiac troponin I (ρ = 0.498, p = 0.047) levels, indicating resilience of myocardial injury. In fulminant myocarditis, the Muse cell number was associated with the severity of clinical features in the acute phase, and also with the recovery from myocardial damage in the chronic phase. Endogenous Muse cells might be mobilized and accumulate to the myocardial tissues in fulminant myocarditis, and might participate in the repair of injured myocardium.
