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

Alterations to cell-to-cell electrical conductance and to the structural arrangement of the collagen network in cardiac tissue are recognized contributors to arrhythmia development, yet no present method allows direct in vivo measurements of these conductances at their true microscopic scale. The present report documents such a plan, which involves interstitial multisite stimulation at a subcellular to cellular size scale, and verifies the performance of the method through biophysical modeling. Although elements of the plan have been analyzed previously, their performance as a whole is considered here in a comprehensive way. Our analyses take advantage of a three-dimensional structural framework in which interstitial, intracellular, and membrane components are coupled to one another on the fine size scale, and electrodes are separated from one another as in arrays we fabricate routinely. With this arrangement, determination of passive tissue resistances can be made from measurements taken on top of the currents flowing in active tissue. In particular, our results show that measurements taken at multiple frequencies and electrode separations provide powerful predictions of the underlying tissue resistances in all geometric dimensions. Because of the small electrode size, separation of interstitial from intracellular compartment contributions is readily achieved.
