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

Side effects on cardiac ion channels are one major reason for new drugs to fail during preclinical evaluation. Herein we propose a simple optogenetic screening tool measuring extracellular field potentials (FP) from paced cardiomyocytes to identify drug effects over the whole physiological heart range, which is essential given the rate-dependency of ion channel function and drug action. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes were transduced with an adeno-associated virus to express Channelrhodopsin2 and plated on micro-electrode arrays. Global pulsed illumination (470 nm, 1 ms, 0.9 mW/mm
