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

Isolated cardiac tissue allows investigators to study mechanisms underlying normal and pathological conditions, which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to perform in vivo. Cultured neonatal rat ventricular cardiac myocytes (NRVM) are widely used to study signaling and growth mechanisms in the heart, primarily due to the versatility, economy, and convenience of this in vitro model. However, the lack of a well-defined longitudinal cellular axis greatly hampers the ability to measure contractile function in these cells, and therefore to associate signaling with mechanical function. In these methods, we demonstrate that this limitation can be overcome by using papillary muscles isolated from neonatal rat hearts. In the methods we describe procedures for isolation of right ventricular papillary muscles from 3-day-old neonatal rats and effects of mechanical and humoral stimuli on contraction and relaxation properties of these tissues.
