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 substantial loss of cardiomyocytes resulting from myocardial infarction leads to pathological remodeling of the heart and the onset of heart failure. Promoting heart regeneration is therefore a critical therapeutic goal for repairing damaged cardiac tissue. Over the past two decades, the utilization of cardiac stem cells for heart regeneration has emerged as a focal point of research. However, the related mechanisms and efficacy remain constrained by poor integration and survival. Concurrently, genetic lineage tracing has definitively shown that the adult mammalian heart lacks significant endogenous stem cells. It is now widely accepted that heart regeneration primarily arises from the proliferation of pre-existing adult cardiomyocytes. This review systematically summarizes the physiological and microenvironmental changes during the developmental process of cardiomyocytes, elucidates the intrinsic and extrinsic molecular biological mechanisms that regulate cardiomyocyte proliferation, and discusses exogenous cell transplantation therapy, potentially endogenous pharmacological and genetic approaches, as well as promising bioengineering and cross-disciplinary methods. By synthesizing these multifaceted advances, this review aims to clarify important issues that require further elucidation in this field, thereby advancing the depth of research on heart regeneration and its clinical translational applications.
