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

Changes to the extracellular matrix support acute wound healing following myocardial infarction. Fibroblasts regulate the composition of the extracellular matrix, in part, by secreting hyaluronan. Details surrounding the regulation, source, and impact of hyaluronan production after MI are largely unknown. We recently showed that activated fibroblasts produce hyaluronan via Has2; however, the extent to which this function impacts acute ventricular remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI) has not been tested. Hence, the goal of the present study was to elucidate the impact of fibroblast-borne Has2 expression in acute ventricular remodeling. Adult, male and female mice were subjected to non-reperfused myocardial infarction and followed for 1 week and subjected to echocardiography and hearts were harvested for pathology and biochemical analyses. Mice were deficient in fibroblast-derived Has2 (Has2
