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 epicardium plays a pivotal role in heart development, regeneration, and disease response through its contributions to multiple cardiac lineages and its dynamic paracrine signaling. Recent advances in lineage tracing, single-cell technologies, and, particularly, human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived cardiac organoid models have illuminated the cellular heterogeneity, developmental plasticity, and intercellular crosstalk of epicardial cells with other cardiac cell types. These models have revealed conserved and divergent mechanisms of epicardial function across species, offering new insights into epicardial-myocardial-endothelial-immune interactions and the regulation of cardiac repair. This review highlights recent key findings from developmental and regenerative studies, integrating them with emerging data from human cardiac organoids to provide an updated framework for understanding epicardial biology and its therapeutic potential.
