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

Pharmacologic modification of cellular calcium handling recently moved into focus as an alternative for prevention and treatment of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Calcium overload and spontaneous calcium release from the sarcoplasmatic reticulum are regarded as possible initiations of early and delayed afterdepolarization thereby triggering ventricular arrhythmias. In chronic heart failure, calcium overload is more likely to occur compared with healthy hearts, which is one explantation for the increased vulnerability in this condition. L-type calcium channel, sodium-calcium-exchanger (NCX), and ryanodine receptor are crucial for calcium homeostasis and therefore represent potential targets for antiarrhythmic drug therapy. Experimental studies have proven beneficial effects for all these three mechanisms in prevention and suppression of tachyarrhythmias. However, clinical data is mainly available for the L-type calcium channel inhibitor verapamil. Therefore, it is still a long way to clinical employment of drugs modifying cellular calcium handling for antiarrhythmic therapy.
