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

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist. GLP-1R agonists are used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is currently unknown whether semaglutide can directly increase force of contraction (FOC) in the human heart. We tested the hypothesis that semaglutide might increase the FOC in the isolated human atrium. To this end, we conducted contraction experiments in isolated human right atrial muscle preparations (HAP). HAP were obtained during open-heart surgery. We detected a concentration- and time-dependent positive inotropic effect (PIE) of semaglutide in HAP. These PIEs were accompanied by increases in the rates of tension development and tension relaxation and a reduction in muscle relaxation time. The PIE of semaglutide in HAP was attenuated by H89, an inhibitor of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and by ryanodine, an inhibitor of sarcoplasmic Ca
