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

purposeMyocardial infarction (MI) triggers complex cellular responses essential for tissue repair and remodeling, including myofibroblast activation. Fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAP) identifies activated myofibroblasts post-MI, however its spatial distribution relative to the scar and area at risk (AAR) is unclear. Non-invasive FAP-imaging with PET radiotracer PROCEDURES: We induced MI/R in male C57BL/6N mice. The AAR was identified by in vivo lectin staining, and expression of FAP, CD68, and hypoxic tissues were measured using immunohistochemistry. Spatial FAP was further interrogated by

resultsFAP expression peaked three days post-MI/R predominantly within the AAR (p < 0.05 vs. d0). Consistent between murine models and human tissues, FAP

conclusionsOur findings demonstrate a distinct FAP expression pattern post-MI/R. The alignment of ex vivo
