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

Heart failure (HF) is a complication of multiple cardiac diseases and is characterized by impaired contractile and electric function. Patients with HF are not only limited by reduced contractile function but are also prone to life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. HF itself leads to remodeling of ion channels, gap junctions, and intracellular calcium handling abnormalities that in combination with structural remodeling, e.g., fibrosis, produce a substrate for an arrhythmogenic disorders. Not only ventricular life-threatening arrhythmias contribute to increased morbidity and mortality but also atrial arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation (AF), are common in HF patients and contribute to morbidity and mortality. The distinct ion channel remodeling processes in HF and in channelopathies associated with HF will be discussed. Further basic research and clinical studies are needed to identify underlying molecular pathways of HF pathophysiology to provide the basis for improved patient care and individualized therapy based on individualized ion channel composition and remodeling.
