The Wilms' Tumor Suppressor WT1 in Cardiomyocytes: Implications for Cardiac Homeostasis and Repair.
Review in Cells, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The Wilms' tumor suppressor WT1 is essential for the development of the heart, among other organs such as the kidneys and gonads. The Wt1 gene encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that regulates proliferation, cellular differentiation processes, and apoptosis. WT1 is also involved in cardiac homeostasis and repair. In adulthood, WT1-expression levels are lower compared to those observed through development, and WT1 expression is restricted to a few cell types. However, its systemic deletion in adult mice is lethal, demonstrating that its presence is also key for organ maintenance. In response to injury, the epicardium re-activates the expression of WT1, but little is known about the roles it plays in cardiomyocytes, which are the main cell type affected after myocardial infarction. The fact that cardiomyocytes exhibit a low proliferation rate in the adult heart in mammals highlights the need to explore new approaches for cardiac regeneration. The aim of this review is to emphasize the functions carried out by WT1 in cardiomyocytes in cardiac homeostasis and heart regeneration.
