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

The voltage-gated L-type calcium channel (LTCC) is essential for multiple cellular processes. In the heart, calcium influx through LTCC plays an important role in cardiac electrical excitation. Mutations in LTCC genes, including CACNA1C, CACNA1D, CACNB2 and CACNA2D, will induce the dysfunctions of calcium channels, which result in the abnormal excitations of cardiomyocytes, and finally lead to cardiac arrhythmias. Nevertheless, the newly found mutations in LTCC and their functions are continuously being elucidated. This review summarizes recent findings on the mutations of LTCC, which are associated with long QT syndromes, Timothy syndromes, Brugada syndromes, short QT syndromes, and some other cardiac arrhythmias. Indeed, we describe the gain/loss-of-functions of these mutations in LTCC, which can give an explanation for the phenotypes of cardiac arrhythmias. Moreover, we present several challenges in the field at present, and propose some diagnostic or therapeutic approaches to these mutation-associated cardiac diseases in the future.
