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

Pre-clinical evaluation of cardiac dysfunction is important for assessing the safety of traditional or novel medicines due to the universality of potential drug-induced heart failure and irreversible arrhythmia. Aconitine (ACO), a traditionally used anti-pyretic, analgesic and anti-rheumatic drug, has been reported to have arrhythmogenic effects. In the present study, the Real-Time Cellular Analysis Cardio system was applied to evaluate the arrhythmogenic effects of ACO in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). The results indicated that ACO is capable of increasing the frequency and decreasing the amplitude of hiPSC-CM contraction in a dose- and time-dependent manner. ACO at 0.25 µM increased the beating rate of hiPSC-CMs by 3.7-fold within 30 min, while 3.0 µM of ACO increased the beating rate by 7.3-fold. The present study also evaluated the potential pro-apoptotic effects of ACO by using caspase-3 and caspase-9 kits. To the best of our knowledge, the present study was the first to record the ACO-induced cardiac arrhythmia of hiPSC-CMsin real-time. The results also indicate that ACO-induced cell death is mediated, at least in part, by caspase-dependent apoptotic pathways.
