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

The electrical impulses that dictate the rhythm of the heartbeat in normal situations and during exercise or stress are initiated by a small number of sinus node pacemaker cells. Senescence and dysfunction of the sinus node affects many people later in life, causing physiologically inappropriate heart rates, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this issue of the JCI, Froese and colleagues show that deficiency in either Popeye domain containing 1 (Popdc1) or Popdc2 leads to sinus node dysfunction under stressed conditions in aged mice. The mechanism reported to underlie the effects of Popdc1/2 deficiency in mice may cause the stress-induced sinus node dysfunction found in many aged individuals and may point to new strategies for therapeutic intervention.
