Epigenetic Regulation in Myocardial Fibroblasts and Its Impact on Cardiovascular Diseases.
Review in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Myocardial fibroblasts play a crucial role in heart structure and function. In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the epigenetic regulation of myocardial fibroblasts, which is essential for cardiac development, homeostasis, and disease progression. In healthy hearts, cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) play a crucial role in synthesizing the extracellular matrix (ECM) when in a dormant state. However, under pathological and environmental stress, CFs transform into activated fibroblasts known as myofibroblasts. These myofibroblasts produce an excess of ECM, which promotes cardiac fibrosis. Although multiple molecular mechanisms are associated with CF activation and myocardial dysfunction, emerging evidence highlights the significant involvement of epigenetic regulation in this process. Epigenetics refers to the heritable changes in gene expression that occur without altering the DNA sequence. These mechanisms have emerged as key regulators of myocardial fibroblast function. This review focuses on recent advancements in the understanding of the role of epigenetic regulation and emphasizes the impact of epigenetic modifications on CF activation. Furthermore, we present perspectives and prospects for future research on epigenetic modifications and their implications for myocardial fibroblasts.
