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

Voltage gated calcium channels are essential for cardiac physiology by serving as sarcolemma- restricted gatekeepers for calcium in cardiac myocytes. Activation of the L-type voltagegated calcium channel provides the calcium entry required for excitation-contraction coupling and contributes to the plateau phase of the cardiac action potential. Given these critical physiological roles, subtle disturbances in L-type channel function can lead to fatal cardiac arrhythmias. Indeed, numerous human arrhythmia syndromes have been linked to mutations in the L-type channel leading to gain-of-function or loss-of-function mutations. In this review, we discuss the current state of knowledge regarding these mutations present in Timothy Syndrome, Long and Short QT Syndromes, Brugada Syndrome and Early Repolarization Syndrome. We discuss the pathological consequences of the mutations, the biophysical effects of the mutations on the channel as well as possible therapeutic considerations and challenges for future studies.
