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

Heart failure (HF) affects 64 million people globally with enormous societal and healthcare costs. Myocardial fibrosis, characterised by changes in collagen content drives HF. Despite evidence that collagen type III (COL3) content changes during myocardial fibrosis, in vivo imaging of COL3 has not been achieved. Here, we discovered the first imaging probe that binds to COL3 with high affinity and specificity, by screening candidate peptide-based probes. Characterisation of the probe showed favourable magnetic and biodistribution properties. The probe's potential for in vivo molecular cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated in a murine model of myocardial infarction. Using the new probe, we were able to map and quantify, previously undetectable, spatiotemporal changes in COL3 after myocardial infarction and monitor response to treatment. This innovative probe provides a promising tool to non-invasively study the unexplored roles of COL3 in cardiac fibrosis and other cardiovascular conditions marked by changes in COL3.
