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 second-generation myosin activator danicamtiv (DN) has shown improved function compared with the first-generation myosin activator omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) in nonfailing myocardium by enhancing cardiac force generation but attenuating slowed relaxation. However, whether the functional improvement with DN compared with OM persists in remodeled failing myocardium remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the differential contractile responses to myosin activators in nonfailing and failing myocardium. Mechanical measurements were performed in detergent-skinned myocardium isolated from donor and failing human hearts. Steady-state force, stretch activation responses and loaded shortening velocity were analyzed at submaximal [Ca
