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
BACKGROUND/
aimExcitation-contraction coupling is modulated by nitric oxide (NO) which otherwise has either beneficial or detrimental effects on myocardial function during hypoxia-reoxygenation. This work aimed at characterizing the variations of electromechanical delay (EMD) induced by anoxia-reoxygenation within the developing heart and determining whether atrial and ventricular EMD are modulated by NO to the same extent.
methodsHearts of 4 or 4.5-day-old chick embryos were excised and submitted in vitro to normoxia (45 min), anoxia (30 min) and reoxygenation (60 min). Electrocardiogram and atrial and ventricular contractions were simultaneously recorded throughout experiment. Anoxia-reoxygenation-induced chrono-, dromo-and inotropic disturbances and changes in EMD in atrium (EMDa) and ventricle (EMDv) were investigated in control hearts and in hearts exposed to 0.1, 1, 10, 50 and 100 microM of DETA-NONOate (a NO donating agent) or to 50 microM of L-NAME (a NOS inhibitor).
resultsUnder normoxia, heart rate, PR interval, ventricular shortening velocity, EMDa and EMDv were similar in control, L-NAME-treated and DETA-NONOate-treated hearts. Under anoxia, cardiac activity became markedly erratic within less than 10 min in all groups. At the onset of reoxygenation, EMDv was increased by about 300% with respect to the preanoxic value while EMDa did not vary significatively. Compared to control conditions, L-NAME or DETA-NONOate had no influence on the negative chrono-, dromo- and inotropic effects induced by anoxia-reoxygenation. However, L-NAME prolonged EMDv during anoxia and delayed EMDv recovery during reoxygenation while 100 microM DETA-NONOate had the opposite effects. EMDa was neither affected by NOS inhibitor nor NO donor. At the end of reoxygenation, all the investigated parameters returned to their basal values.
conclusionThis work provides evidence that a NO-dependent pathway is involved in regulation of the ventricular excitation-contraction coupling in the anoxic-reoxygenated developing heart.
