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

Optogenetics is an emerging, interdisciplinary research area which combines genetic and optical technologies to steer and monitor specific biological processes. To this end, light-activated proteins, so-called optogenetic actuators, or fluorescent sensor proteins are genetically targeted to the cells of interest. Light activation can then be used to modulate or record cellular behaviour with high spatiotemporal precision. In cardiac research, optogenetic approaches have been used to unravel heterocellular electrotonic interactions, both in vitro and in situ. Pioneering optogenetic studies with potential relevance for clinical electrophysiology include light-controlled pacing experiments and optical defibrillation studies. However, despite successful implementation in mouse models, clinical applications are not feasible to date; these will require major advances in gene therapy and in optical techniques.
