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

Ventricular electrical conduction has been investigated in the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat. Diabetes was induced with a single injection of STZ (60 mg/kg bodyweight, ip). The ECG was measured continuously, in vivo, using a biotelemetry system. Left ventricular action potentials were recorded with an extracellular suction electrode. Expression of mRNA transcripts for selected ion transport proteins was measured in left ventricle with real-time RT-PCR. At 10 weeks after STZ treatment, in vivo heart rate (HR) was reduced (267 +/- 3 vs. 329 +/- 5 BPM), QRS complex duration and QT interval were prolonged in diabetic rats compared to controls. In vitro spontaneous HR was reduced and paced heart action potential repolarization was prolonged in diabetic rats compared to controls. The mRNA expression for Kcnd2 (I (to) channel) and Kcne2 (I (kr) channel) was significantly reduced in diabetic rats compared to controls. Altered gene expression and, in particular, genes that encode K(+) channel proteins may underlie delayed propagation of electrical activity in the ventricular myocardium of STZ-induced diabetic rat.
