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.
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 exact location of the dominant pacemaker site in adult bird heart continues to be ill-defined. The aim of this study was to identify the localization of the dominant pacemaker and to investigate its electrophysiological characteristics in isolated sinoatrial preparations of the adult chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) heart. The dominant pacemaker was localized at the base of the right leaflet of the valve of the right cranial vena cava and at the base of both leaflets of the valve of the caudal vena cava. But latent pacemakers were also identified in regions around these valves. Additionally, the valve leaflets generated conducting-like APs that with high amplitude, fast maximal upstroke velocity (greater than in working myocardium) and with diastolic depolarization. The avian sinoatrial junction is electrophysiologically heterogeneous. The avian dominant pacemaker site is more extensive than that in mammals. These findings establish a foundation for understanding species-specific pacemaker mechanisms and their evolution.
