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

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, there is a critical need for sophisticated models that accurately reflect human cardiovascular pathophysiology. This mini review explores recent advancements in cardiac microenvironment engineering for modeling cardiac mechanobiology and investigating genetic and acquired cardiac diseases. Cardiac function relies heavily on mechanical cues, with integrin- and cadherin-based adhesion complexes mediating mechanosensitive signaling that drives disease progression. However, studying these processes in humans remains challenging. Although animal models have been indispensable, they often fail to recapitulate human-specific cardiac features. Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have been transformative, enabling patient-specific modeling and the identification of disease-specific phenotypes that are challenging to replicate in traditional animal models. Despite their promise, hiPSC-CMs are constrained by their immature phenotype and heterogeneity, which limits their efficacy in modeling adult cardiac physiology. Emerging
