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

backgroundVentricular arrhythmias are frequent in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), but their origin and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, the involvement of left ventricular (LV) electrical and structural remodeling was assessed in an animal model mimicking rTOF sequelae.

methodsPiglets underwent a tetralogy of Fallot repair-like surgery (n=6) or were sham operated (Sham, n=5). Twenty-three weeks post-surgery, cardiac function was assessed in vivo by magnetic resonance imaging. Electrophysiological properties were characterized by optical mapping. LV fibrosis and connexin-43 localization were assessed on histological sections and protein expression assessed by Western Blot.

resultsRight ventricular dysfunction was evident, whereas LV function remained unaltered in rTOF pigs. Optical mapping showed longer action potential duration on the rTOF LV epicardium and endocardium. Epicardial conduction velocity was significantly reduced in the longitudinal direction in rTOF LVs but not in the transverse direction compared with Sham. An elevated collagen content was found in LV basal and apical sections from rTOF pigs. Moreover, a trend for connexin-43 lateralization with no change in protein expression was found in the LV of rTOFs. Finally, rTOF LVs had a lower threshold for arrhythmia induction using incremental pacing protocols.

conclusionsWe found an arrhythmogenic substrate with prolonged heterogeneous action potential duration and reduced conduction velocity in the LV of rTOF pigs. This remodeling precedes LV dysfunction and is likely to contribute to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in patients with rTOF.
