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

During cardiac development, the myocardium expands in response to physiological demands to achieve proper cardiac morphology and functional contractility, while simultaneously integrating with the developing coronary vasculature. However, the mechanisms governing this ordered expansion remain poorly understood. Here, we found that regional hypoxia drives local tissue thickening, which in turn exacerbates a hypoxic microenvironment. We demonstrate that epicardial hypoxia serves as a central regulatory mechanism, coordinating both coronary angiogenesis and myocardial expansion during juvenile zebrafish heart development. This mechanism activates discrete spatial patterns of epicardial gene expression, including
