Pathophysiology of dyssynchrony: of squirrels and broken bones.

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
The genesis of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) consists of 'bedside' research and 'bench' studies that are performed in series with each other. In this field, the bench studies are crucial for understanding the pathophysiology of dyssynchrony and resynchronisation. In a way, CRT started with the insight that abnormal ventricular conduction, as caused by right ventricular pacing, has adverse effects. Out of this research came the ground-breaking insight that 'simple' disturbances in impulse conduction, which were initially considered innocent, proved to result in a host of molecular and cellular derangements that lead to a vicious circle of remodelling processes that facilitate the development of heart failure. As a consequence, CRT does not only correct conduction abnormalities, but also improves myocardial properties at many levels. Interestingly, corrections by CRT do not exactly reverse the derangements, induced by dyssynchrony, but also activate novel pathways, a property that may open new avenues for the treatment of heart failure.
