Atrial tachyarrhythmia in Rgs5-null mice.
Article in PloS one, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
aimsThe aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (Rgs5), a negative regulator of G protein-mediated signaling, on atrial repolarization and tachyarrhythmia (ATA) in mice. METHODS AND
resultsIn present study, the incidence of ATA were increased in Rgs5(-/-) Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts during program electrical stimulation (PES) (46.7%, 7 of 15) and burst pacing (26.7%, 4 of 15) compared with wild-type (WT) mice (PES: 7.1%,1 of 14; burst:7.1%,1 of 14) (P<0.05). And the duration of ATA also shown longer in Rgs5(-/-) heart than that in WT, 2 out of 15 hearts exhibited sustained ATA (>30 s) but none of them observed in WT mice. Atrial prolonged repolarization was observed in Rgs5(-/-) hearts including widened P wave in surface ECG recording, increased action potential duration (APD) and atrial effective refractory periods (AERP), all of them showed significant difference with WT mice (P<0.05). At the cellular level, whole-cell patch clamp recorded markedly decreased densities of repolarizing K(+) currents including I(Kur) (at +60 mV: 14.0±2.2 pF/pA) and I(to) (at +60 mV: 16.7±1.3 pA/pF) in Rgs5(-/-) atrial cardiomyocytes, compared to those of WT mice (at +60 mV I(to): 20.4±2.0 pA/pF; I(kur): 17.9±2.0 pF/pA) (P<0.05).
conclusionThese results suggest that Rgs5 is an important regulator of arrhythmogenesis in the mouse atrium and that the enhanced susceptibility to atrial tachyarrhythmias in Rgs5(-/-) mice may contribute to abnormalities of atrial repolarization.
