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

Stem cell-based models of human heart tissue and cardiac differentiation employ monolayer and 3D organoid cultures with different properties, cell type composition, and maturity. Here we show how cardiac monolayer, embryoid body, and engineered heart tissue trajectories compare in a single-cell roadmap of atrial and ventricular differentiation conditions. Using a multiomic approach and gene-regulatory network inference, we identified regulators of the epicardial, atrial, and ventricular cardiomyocyte lineages. We identified ZNF711 as a regulatory switch and safeguard for cardiomyocyte commitment. We show that ZNF711 ablation prevents cardiomyocyte differentiation in the absence of retinoic acid, causing progenitors to be diverted more prominently to epicardial and other lineages. Retinoic acid rescues this shift in lineage commitment and promotes atrial cardiomyocyte differentiation by regulation of shared and complementary target genes, showing interplay between ZNF711 and retinoic acid in cardiac lineage commitment.
