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 injury has been characterized by the irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes comprising the contractile tissues of the heart and thus strategies enabling adult cardiomyocyte proliferation are highly desired for treating various heart diseases. Here, we test the ability of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived primitive macrophages (hiPMs) and their conditioned medium (hiPM-cm) to promote human cardiomyocyte proliferation and enhance cardiac regeneration in adult mice. We find that hiPMs promote human cardiomyocyte proliferation, which is recapitulated by hiPM-cm through the activation of multiple pro-proliferative pathways, and a secreted proteome analysis identifies five proteins participating in this activation. Subsequent in vivo experiments show that hiPM-cm promotes adult cardiomyocyte proliferation in mice. Lastly, hiPM-cm enhances cardiac regeneration and improves contractile function in injured adult mouse hearts. Together, our study demonstrates the efficacy of using hiPM-cm in promoting adult cardiomyocyte proliferation and cardiac regeneration to serve as an innovative treatment for heart disease.
