Comprehensive in vitro pro-arrhythmic assays demonstrate that omecamtiv mecarbil has low pro-arrhythmic risk.
Article in Clinical and translational science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a myosin activator (myotrope), developed as a potential therapeutic agent for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. To characterize the potential pro-arrhythmic risk of this novel sarcomere activator, we evaluated OM in a series of International Conference on Harmonization S7B core and follow-up assays, including an in silico action potential (AP) model. OM was tested in: (i) hERG, Nav1.5 peak, and Cav1.2 channel assays; (ii) in silico computation in a human ventricular AP (hVAP) population model; (iii) AP recordings in canine cardiac Purkinje fibers (PF); and (iv) electrocardiography analysis in isolated rabbit hearts (IRHs). OM had low potency in the hERG (half-maximal inhibitory concentration [IC
