Advances and Prospects in Using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for 3D Bioprinting in Cardiac Tissue Engineering.

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
Background: Cardiovascular diseases remain one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Given the limited self-repair capacity of cardiac tissue, cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) aims to develop strategies and materials for repairing or replacing damaged cardiac tissue by combining biology, medicine, and engineering. Indeed, CTE has made significant strides since the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in 2006, including creating cardiac patches, organoids, and chip models derived from iPSCs, thus offering new strategies for treating cardiac diseases. Methods: A systematic search for relevant literature published between 2003 and 2024 was conducted in the PubMed and Web of Science databases using "Cardiac Tissue Engineering", "3D Bioprinting", "Scaffold in Tissue Engineering", "Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells", and "iPSCs" as keywords. Results: This systematic search using the abovementioned keywords identified relevant articles for inclusion in this review. The resulting literature indicated that CTE can offer innovative solutions for treating cardiac diseases when integrated with three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting and iPSC technology. Conclusions: Despite notable advances in the field of CTE, multiple challenges remain relating to 3D-bioprinted cardiac tissues. These include maintaining long-term cell viability, achieving precise cell distribution, tissue vascularization, material selection, and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, further research is needed to optimize printing techniques, develop more advanced bio-inks, explore larger-scale tissue constructs, and ensure the biosafety and functional fidelity of engineered cardiac tissues. Subsequently, future research efforts should focus on these areas to facilitate the clinical translation of CTE. Moreover, additional long-term animal models and preclinical studies should be conducted to ensure the biosafety and functionality of engineered cardiac tissues, thereby creating novel possibilities for treating patients with heart diseases.
