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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Current drugs for AF treatment have moderate efficacy and increase the risk of life-threatening antiarrhythmias, making novel drug development crucial. Newer antiarrhythmic drugs like dronedarone and possibly vernakalant are efficient and may have less proarrhythmic potential. Emerging evidence suggests that abnormal intracellular Ca(2+) signaling is the key contributor to focal firing, substrate evolution, and atrial remodeling during AF. Accordingly, identification of the underlying atrial Ca(2+)-handling abnormalities is expected to discover novel mechanistically based therapeutic targets. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms of altered Ca(2+) signaling in AF and discusses the potential value of novel approaches targeting atrial Ca(2+)-handling abnormalities.
