Cell Therapy Improves Quality-of-Life in Heart Failure: Outcomes From a Phase III Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Stem cells translational medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Patients with heart failure experience limitations in daily activity and poor quality-of-life. Prospective surveillance of health-related quality-of-life supplemented traditional death and hospitalization outcomes in the multinational, randomized, double-blinded CHART-1 clinical trial that assessed cardiopoiesis-guided cell therapy in ischemic heart failure patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), a Food and Drug Administration qualified instrument for evaluating therapeutic effectiveness, was applied through the 1-year follow-up. Cell treated (n = 109) and sham procedure (n = 140) cohorts reported improved MLHFQ scores comparable between the 2 study arms (mean treatment difference with baseline adjustment -3.2 points, P = .107). Superiority of cell treatment over sham in betterment of the MLHFQ score was demonstrated in patients with pre-existing advanced left ventricular enlargement (baseline-adjusted mean treatment difference -6.4 points, P = .009). In this highly responsive subpopulation, benefit on the MLHFQ score paralleled reduction in death and hospitalization post-cell therapy (adjusted Mann-Whitney odds 1.43, 95% CI, 1.01-2.01; P = .039). The potential of cell therapy in addressing the quality-of-life dimension of heart failure requires further evaluation for disease relief.
