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 remain a growing concern worldwide. Hence, it is critical to understand cardiac development and disease in a relevant human-based in vitro model. Human cardiac organoids are an alternative approach to studying cardiogenesis, in the context of cell-cell communication, and disease etiology, using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized particles harboring proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites and are implicated in intercellular communication. Since cardiac development requires a complex interplay between several cell types, we hypothesize that EVs may mediate this communication. Here, we isolated EVs from hiPSC-derived cardiac organoids (cardEVs). LC-MS/MS was performed to analyze their protein cargo and compare it with those from a cardiomyocyte cell line (AC10 CM EVs) and from human heart explants of cadaveric donors (heEVs) using a bioinformatic approach. cardEVs share 48.9% of their proteins with heEVs, with important biological processes such as "Metabolism" and "Cardiac Function" highlighted in both proteomes. This overlap between the proteomes of cardEVs and heEVs suggests a molecular similarity between the two models. Therefore, we reiterate the importance of cardiac organoids as an excellent model for studying cardiac development and disease modeling, as well as to explore the complexity of intercellular communication.
