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 heart maintains systemic perfusion through the coordinated function of its four chambers: the left and right atria and ventricles. Each chamber has distinct structural, functional, and molecular properties tailored to its role in circulation, which may result in chamber-specific differences in myofilament structure and regulation between atria and ventricles. To test this hypothesis, we employed muscle mechanics and X-ray diffraction to investigate functional and structural differences in porcine left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) tissue. Here, we report the first X-ray diffraction study of atrial tissue, demonstrating that under resting conditions, myosin filaments in LA adopted a more ON-like, structurally distinct configuration compared with those in LV. Under contracting conditions, LV generated greater force and exhibited higher sinusoidal stiffness than LA across multiple calcium concentrations. LA showed faster
