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

Since the identification of the first SCN5A mutation associated with long QT syndrome in 1995, several mutations in this gene for the alpha subunit of the cardiac sodium channel have been identified in a heterogeneous subset of cardiac rhythm syndromes, including Brugada syndrome, progressive cardiac conduction defect, sick sinus node syndrome, atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy. Robust clinical evidence has been accompanied by bench studies performed in different models spanning from in vitro expression systems to transgenic mice. Together, these studies have helped establish genotype-phenotype correlations and have shaped our understanding of the role of the cardiac sodium channel in health and in disease. Remarkably, these advances in understanding have impacted on clinical management by allowing us to start developing gene-specific risk stratification schemes and mutation-specific management strategies. In this Review, we summarize the current understanding of the molecular mechanism of SCN5A-associated inherited arrhythmias, focusing on the most recent development of mutation-specific management in SCN5A-associated long QT syndrome type 3. We also briefly discuss arrhythmia-causing mutations in the genes encoding the beta subunit of the cardiac sodium channel and in those encoding proteins in the associated macromolecular complex.
