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

The field of cardiovascular research has benefitted from rapid developments in imaging technology over the last few decades. Accordingly, an ever growing number of large, multidimensional data sets have begun to appear, often challenging existing pre-conceptions about structure and function of biological systems. For tissue and cell structure imaging, the move from 2D section-based microscopy to true 3D data collection has been a major driver of new insight. In the sub-cellular domain, electron tomography is a powerful technique for exploration of cellular structures in 3D with unparalleled fidelity at nanometer resolution. Electron tomography is particularly advantageous for studying highly compartmentalised cells such as cardiomyocytes, where elaborate sub-cellular structures play crucial roles in electrophysiology and mechanics. Although the anatomy of specific ultra-structures, such as dyadic couplons, has been extensively explored using 2D electron microscopy of thin sections, we still lack accurate, quantitative knowledge of true individual shape, volume and surface area of sub-cellular domains, as well as their 3D spatial interrelations; let alone of how these are reshaped during the cycle of contraction and relaxation. Here we discuss and illustrate the utility of ET for identification, visualisation, and analysis of 3D cardiomyocyte ultrastructures such as the T-tubular system, sarcoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and microtubules.
