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

introductionOpening of voltage-gated sodium channels takes tens to hundreds of microseconds, and mechanisms of their opening by nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) stimuli remain elusive. This study was aimed at uncovering the mechanisms of how nsPEF elicits action potentials (APs) in cardiomyocytes. METHODS AND

resultsFluorescent imaging of optical APs (FluoVolt) and Ca

conclusionsThe study established that nsPEF stimulation caused calcium entry into cardiac myocytes (including routes other than voltage-gated calcium channels) and SSD. Tetrodotoxin-sensitive APs were mediated by SSD, whose amplitude depended on the calcium entry. Plasma membrane electroporation was the most likely primary mechanism of SSD with additional contribution from l-type calcium and sodium-calcium exchanger currents.
