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 electrophysiology has progressed in great strides since the electrical activity of the heart was first discovered in 1842 and documented using electrocardiography. Optical imaging of cardiac electrophysiology, or optocardiography, has seen many advances in recent years including panoramic imaging of the heart, alternating transillumination to image transmural electrical activity, optogenetic models and customizable 3D printed optical mapping systems. Most of these techniques were adopted from other fields of study and refined for cardiac electrophysiology purposes. The future of this field could see similar adaptations of photoacoustic tomography, structured light technology and optical coherence tomography contributing to optocardiography.
