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

purposeThe aim of the present study was to explore the role of intermediate-conductance Ca

methodsEighteen dogs were divided into the control group, the pacing group and the stellate ganglion ablation (SGA) + pacing group. In the pacing group, dogs were subjected to rapid atrial pacing, and the atrial effective refractory period (AERP) and AF inducibility were measured. After cessation of 7-h pacing, SK4 inhibitor (TRAM-34) was administered. After SGA, the SGA + pacing group received the same procedure of pacing and electrophysiological measurement as the pacing group. The expression of SK4 was measured in the left atrium (LA) and the right atrium (RA) in the three groups.

resultsThe duration of the AERP decreased, while the number of AF episodes, the duration of induced AF, and the amplitude of stellate ganglion neural activity all increased after rapid atrial pacing. TRAM-34 completely inhibited AF induction in the pacing group. There was no significant difference in AERP shortening or AF vulnerability between the SGA + pacing group and the control group. The expression of SK4 in the LA and RA was higher in the pacing group than in the control and SGA + pacing groups. However, there was no significant difference in the expression of SK4 in the LA or the RA between the SGA + pacing group and the control group.

conclusionThe higher expression of SK4 plays an important role in AF induction and the increased expression of SK4 in the atrium is related to SG activity during rapid atrial pacing.
