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

backgroundCardiomyocytes derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) hold great promise in heart damage repair in vivo and drug screening in vitro. However, PSC-derived cardiomyocytes exhibit immature structural and functional properties, which hinder their widespread application. To address this challenge, we designed bimetallic gold-platinum nanoparticles (Au@Pt NPs) endowed with intrinsic oxidase-like, peroxidase-like, and catalase-like activities and high electrical conductivity for promoting cardiomyocyte maturation.

methodsMouse embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived and neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes were used to evaluate the effects of Au@Pt NPs on cardiomyocyte maturation. The expression and alignment of cardiomyocyte myofibril proteins were analyzed by qRT-PCR, western blot, and immunofluorescence staining. Cellular functionality was analyzed by the multi-electrode array.

resultsBy adding Au@Pt NPs at different stages of cardiac differentiation of mouse ESCs, we found that treatment with Au@Pt NPs at the late stage could promote the maturation of differentiated cardiomyocytes, evidenced by increased expression of mature myofibril protein isoforms, more aligned myofibrils, and enhanced sarcomere length. Additionally, Au@Pt NPs can enhance the expression of mature sarcomere components, increase sarcomere length, and significantly boost beating amplitude and conduction velocity in neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, Au@Pt NPs promoted cell cycle arrest, increased intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, and promoted contractility by inducing the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

conclusionOur results indicate that the bimetallic Au@Pt NPs with intrinsic oxidase-like, peroxidase-like, and catalase-like activities and high electrical conductivity could promote the maturation of ESCs-derived and neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes, providing a promising approach for cardiomyocyte maturation and cell therapy for cardiovascular disease.
