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

Arrhythmias are a hallmark of myocardial infarction (MI) and increase patient mortality. How insult to the cardiac conduction system causes arrhythmias following MI is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate conduction system restoration during neonatal mouse heart regeneration versus pathological remodeling at non-regenerative stages. Tissue-cleared whole-organ imaging identified disorganized bundling of conduction fibers after MI and global His-Purkinje disruption. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed specific molecular changes to regenerate the conduction network versus aberrant electrical alterations during fibrotic repair. This manifested functionally as a transition from normal rhythm to pathological conduction delay beyond the regenerative window. Modeling in the infarcted human heart implicated the non-regenerative phenotype as causative for heart block, as observed in patients. These findings elucidate the mechanisms underpinning conduction system regeneration and reveal how MI-induced damage elicits clinical arrhythmogenesis.
