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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly affects morbidity and mortality rates. Class III antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) play a crucial role in managing AF but often exhibit gender-specific complications. Our study aims to identify gender-specific Class III AADs by integrating in vitro measurements, in silico models, and machine learning (ML). By simulating drug effects on a diverse cardiomyocyte model population (5,663 males and 6,184 females), we classified drugs based on changes in action potentials and calcium transients. Using sex-dependent Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms, we achieved high prediction accuracy (>89%) and F1 score (>87%). Key features included changes in resting membrane potential and action potential amplitude, duration and area. Gender differences in drug responses were attributed to lower IK1, INa, and Ito in females.
