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

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a severe hypoxic event, resulting in the loss of up to one billion cardiomyocytes (CMs). Due to the limited intrinsic regenerative capacity of the heart, cell-based regenerative therapies, which feature the implantation of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (SC-CMs) into the infarcted myocardium, are being developed with the goal of restoring lost muscle mass, re-engineering cardiac contractility, and preventing the progression of MI into heart failure (HF). However, such cell-based therapies are challenged by their susceptibility to oxidative stress in the ischemic environment of the infarcted heart. To maximize the therapeutic benefits of cell-based approaches, a better understanding of the heart environment at the cellular, tissue, and organ level throughout MI is imperative. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the cardiac pathophysiology occurring during and after MI, as well as how these changes define the cardiac environment to which cell-based cardiac regenerative therapies are delivered. This understanding is then leveraged to frame how cell culture treatments may be employed to enhance SC-CMs' hypoxia resistance. In this way, we synthesize both the complex experience of SC-CMs upon implantation and the engineering techniques that can be utilized to develop robust SC-CMs for the clinical translation of cell-based cardiac therapies.
