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

backgroundThe EF-hand Ca

methodsWe applied an integrative translational research pipeline ranging from in silico computational molecular modeling and in vitro biochemical molecular assays as well as isolated rodent and human cardiomyocyte performance assessments to in vivo safety and efficacy studies in small and large animal cardiac disease models.

resultsWe characterize S100A1ct as a cell-penetrating peptide with positive inotropic and antiarrhythmic properties in normal and failing myocardium in vitro and in vivo. This activity translates into improved contractile performance and survival in preclinical heart failure models with reduced ejection fraction after S100A1ct systemic administration. S100A1ct exerts a fast and sustained dose-dependent enhancement of cardiomyocyte Ca

conclusionsS100A1ct is a promising lead for the development of novel peptide-based therapeutics against heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
