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

The human heart undergoes continuous transcriptional remodeling from development through aging, yet the cellular and regulatory features governing this process remain incompletely defined. Here, we generated a single-nucleus RNA sequencing atlas of 442,239 nuclei from 54 nonfailing myocardial tissues of 29 individuals spanning development, adulthood, and aging, covering left and right ventricles. Across all major cell types, we uncovered coordinated yet cell type-specific transcriptional trajectories that converge on progressive loss of gene expression homeostasis, stress responses, and inflammatory signaling over the life span. Cardiomyocytes displayed distinct age-associated transcriptional states enriched for senescence- and disease-related signatures. Regulatory network analysis identified
