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

Early afterdepolarizations (EADs) have been implicated in severe cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac deaths. However, the mechanism(s) for EAD genesis, especially regarding the relative contribution of Ca(2+) wave (CaW) vs. L-type Ca current (I(Ca,L)), still remains controversial. In the present study, we simultaneously recorded action potentials (APs) and intracellular Ca(2+) images in isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes and systematically compared the properties of EADs in the following two pharmacological models: 1) hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2); 200 μM); and 2) isoproterenol (100 nM) and BayK 8644 (50 nM) (Iso + BayK). We assessed the rate dependency of EADs, the temporal relationship between EADs and corresponding CaWs, the distribution of EADs over voltage, and the effects of blockers of I(Ca,L), Na/Ca exchangers, and ryanodine receptors. The most convincing evidence came from the AP-clamp experiment, in which the cell membrane clamp was switched from current clamp to voltage clamp using a normal AP waveform without EAD; CaWs disappeared in the H(2)O(2) model, but persisted in the Iso + BayK model. We postulate that, although CaWs and reactivation of I(Ca,L) may act synergistically in either case, reactivation of I(Ca,L) plays a predominant role in EAD genesis under oxidative stress (H(2)O(2) model), while spontaneous CaWs are a predominant cause for EADs under Ca(2+) overload condition (Iso + BayK model).
