Signals from the extracellular matrix: Region- and sex-specificity in cardiac aging.
Review in Current opinion in cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
During aging, the cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) undergoes gradual remodeling that reduces the heart's ability to function. Specific ECM changes cause alterations in cellular signaling pathways, eliciting maladaptive responses. Here, we provide insight into the current knowledge of how age-specific ECM changes contribute to altered ligand-receptor interactions, dysregulated mechanotransduction, and the propagation of pro-fibrotic signaling cascades that underpin dysfunction. We also highlight regional and sex differences that new biomolecular and bioengineered technologies have recently uncovered. We call for new biomaterial strategies that mimic spatiotemporal and sex-specific ECM alterations to equip researchers with the tools to unravel complex cellular signaling events. We believe this can be achieved through interdisciplinary cooperation amongst researchers spanning matrix biology, biomaterials, spatial omics, and biomedical engineering.
