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.

Abstract

The Comprehensive in vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) initiative is developing and validating a mechanistic-based assessment of the proarrhythmic risk of drugs. CiPA proposes to assess a drug's effect on multiple ion channels and integrate the effects in a computer model of the human cardiomyocyte to predict proarrhythmic risk. Unanticipated or missed effects will be assessed with human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis in early phase I clinical trials. This article provides an overview of CiPA and the rationale and design of the CiPA phase I ECG validation clinical trial, which involves assessing an additional ECG biomarker (J-Tpeak) for QT prolonging drugs. If successful, CiPA will 1) create a pathway for drugs with hERG block / QT prolongation to advance without intensive ECG monitoring in phase III trials if they have low proarrhythmic risk; and 2) enable updating drug labels to be more informative about proarrhythmic risk, not just QT prolongation.
