Scn2b Deletion in Mice Results in Ventricular and Atrial Arrhythmias.
Article in Circulation. Arrhythmia and electrophysiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMutations in SCN2B, encoding voltage-gated sodium channel β2-subunits, are associated with human cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and Brugada syndrome. Because of this, we propose that β2-subunits play critical roles in the establishment or maintenance of normal cardiac electric activity in vivo. METHODS AND
resultsTo understand the pathophysiological roles of β2 in the heart, we investigated the cardiac phenotype of Scn2b null mice. We observed reduced sodium and potassium current densities in ventricular myocytes, as well as conduction slowing in the right ventricular outflow tract region. Functional reentry, resulting from the interplay between slowed conduction, prolonged repolarization, and increased incidence of premature ventricular complexes, was found to underlie the mechanism of spontaneous polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Scn5a transcript levels were similar in Scn2b null and wild-type ventricles, as were levels of Na
conclusionsGenetic deletion of Scn2b in mice results in ventricular and atrial arrhythmias, consistent with reported SCN2B mutations in human patients.
