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

backgroundPatients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy due to pathogenic variants in

methodsWe used established computational models of ventricular cell electrophysiology to define the effects of varying levels of successful gene therapy on conduction in patients with

resultsWe observed a nonlinear relationship between conduction velocity and the proportion of transduced cells. Conduction velocity increased only modestly when up to 40% of myocytes were transduced. Conduction block did not occur in tissue constructs with moderate levels of uncoupling (0.10 or 0.15 of normal) as this degree of coupling was sufficient to allow electrotonic current to pass through diseased cells. Thus, low levels of transduction, likely to occur in phase 1 clinical trials, do not seem to pose a major safety concern. However, our models did not incorporate the potential effects of fibrosis and inflammation, both of which are presumably present in

conclusionsThe extent of successful ventricular myocyte transduction anticipated to be achieved in
