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

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) hold tremendous promise for in vitro modeling to assess native myocardial function and disease mechanisms, as well as testing drug safety and efficacy. However, current hiPSC-CMs are functionally immature, resembling in vivo CMs of fetal or neonatal developmental states. The use of targeted culture media and organoid formats have been identified as potential high-yield contributors to improve CM maturation. This study presents an hiPSC-CM maturation medium formulation, designed using a differential evolutionary approach targeting metabolic functionality for iterative optimization. Relative to existing high-performing reference formulations, our medium significantly matured morphology, Ca
