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 mechanisms by which gender affects cardiac electrophysiological parameters and alters the predisposition to certain arrhythmias are not well understood, although differences in the expression and function of ion channels and in the activation of the autonomic nervous system may contribute. In their study Philp and coworkers address the issue of the effect of 17beta-estradiol on ventricular vulnerability in a rat model of ischemia. Their data show that there is a dose-dependent antiarrhythmic activity of 17beta-estradiol administration with suppression ventricular premature beats, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation during ischemia. Furthermore they show a dose-dependent blockage of I(CaL) by 17beta-estradiol which is again stronger in female than in male mice. They postulate that the shown gender-selective, concentration-dependent inhibition of I(CaL) is sufficient to account for the reduction in ischaemia-induced arrhythmia. With this data they have added important information on the influence of sex hormones on cardiac electrophysiology under pathophysiological conditions.
