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

Cardiovascular diseases as myocardial infarction (MI) represent a major cause for morbidity and mortality worldwide. Even though, patients who survive MI are susceptible to high risk of heart failure. This is mainly attributed to the major loss of cardiomyocytes and limited regenerative potential of myocardium. Despite the availability of various cardiovascular drugs, they fail to address the main cause of MI. The optimum therapeutic goal should therefore focus on enhancing cardiac regeneration through cellular and cell-free therapeutic approaches. This review focused on different mechanisms of cardiac regeneration that can be achieved via non-cellular therapeutic modalities. Passive and active targeting of the infarcted myocardium using various nanoparticles that can be loaded with growth factors, drugs or affordable natural products can reduce negative ventricular remodeling, infarct size and the apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes. In addition, injectable biomaterials-based nanocomposite can be used as a scaffold to support infarcted heart and recruit cells. Innovative affordable and less invasive cell-free approaches can be implemented to enhance cardiac regeneration post MI.
