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

Cardiac mechanics plays a crucial role in atrial and ventricular function, in the regulation of growth and remodelling, in the progression of disease, and the response to treatment. The spatial scale of the critical mechanisms ranges from nm (molecules) to cm (hearts) with the fastest events occurring in milliseconds (molecular events) and the slowest requiring months (growth and remodelling). Due to its complexity and importance, cardiac mechanics has been studied extensively both experimentally and through mathematical models and simulation. Models of cardiac mechanics evolved from seminal studies in skeletal muscle, and developed into cardiac specific, species specific, human specific and finally patient specific calculations. These models provide a formal framework to link multiple experimental assays recorded over nearly 100 years into a single unified representation of cardiac function. This review first provides a summary of the proteins, physiology and anatomy involved in the generation of cardiac pump function. We then describe the evolution of models of cardiac mechanics starting with the early theoretical frameworks describing the link between sarcomeres and muscle contraction, transitioning through myosin-level models to calcium-driven systems, and ending with whole heart patient-specific models.
