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.
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
Tissue-engineered cardiac patches (TECPs), which combine cells with biomaterial scaffolds, hold great promise for myocardial repair and regeneration. However, their broader application remains limited by the low survival rate of transplanted cells. To boost the therapeutic efficacy of cardiac patches, genetic engineering and localized delivery of bioactive factors are essential for optimizing cellular function in vivo. In this study, nanofibrous membranes composed of polycaprolactone-co-l-lactide (PLCL) and gelatin at various ratios were fabricated using electrospinning technology. Among these, membranes containing 30 % gelatin displayed optimal properties, promoting the adhesion, survival, proliferation, and cardiomyocyte differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac progenitor cells (iPSC-CPCs). Following this, TECPs were constructed in vitro and transfected with modified mRNA (modRNA) encoding insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1). Further evaluations revealed that IGF1 modified mRNA (modIGF1)-enriched TECPs significantly reduced infarct size, enhanced the survival and proliferation of transplanted cells, promoted vascularization and facilitated cardiac functional recovery. The integration of modRNA technology with myocardial patches facilitates the controlled release of therapeutic proteins, thereby preserving cellular function and offering a promising approach to advancing cardiac tissue engineering.
