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

The sympathetic nervous system densely innervates all cardiac chambers and is a key player in cardiac control, yet this relationship has scarcely been investigated using a stem cell-based model. This study investigates the effects that sympathetic neurons (SNs) have on human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) in vitro, and whether they induce any degree of functional or structural maturity in these conventionally immature cells. SNs were isolated from neonatal rat pups, and cocultured with hPSC-CMs for up to 15 days. Structural changes in hPSC-CMs were analysed by microscopy techniques. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer was used to measure second messenger molecule cAMP production and β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) response. Contractile and Ca
