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

Cardiomyocytes differentiated in vitro from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-CMs) are increasingly used in studies of disease mechanisms, drug development, toxicity testing, and regenerative medicine. Alternative splicing (AS) plays a pivotal role in cardiac development. However, the extent to which iPSC-CMs recapitulate native cardiac splicing patterns remains poorly understood. Here, we provide a comprehensive temporal map of AS regulation during human cardiac development. iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes globally recapitulate the transcriptome of prenatal cardiomyocytes, yet their splicing profiles remain heterogeneous, with certain events reflecting early embryonic patterns and others resembling those of later-stage fetal hearts. Moreover, we uncover altered splicing events in iPSC-CMs, including mis-splicing of splicing factors. In conclusion, we present a resource of AS dynamics throughout human cardiac development and a catalog of splicing markers to assess cardiomyocyte maturation in vitro. Our findings provide critical insights into the limitations of iPSC-CM models and their utility in cardiovascular research.
