The Role of the Extracellular Matrix in Inducing Cardiac Cell Regeneration and Differentiation.
Review in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 adult human heart has a limited ability to regenerate after injury, leading to the formation of fibrotic scars and a subsequent loss of function. In fish, mice, and humans, cardiac remodeling after myocardial injury involves the activation of epicardial and endocardial cells, pericytes, stem cells, and fibroblasts. The heart's extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a significant role in the regeneration and recovery process. The epicardium, endocardium, and pericytes reactivate the embryonic program in response to ECM stimulation, which leads to epithelial-mesenchymal transition, cell migration, and differentiation. This review analyzes the role of ECM in guiding the differentiation or dedifferentiation and proliferation of heart components by comparing significant findings in a zebrafish model with those of mammals.
