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

Ranolazine (RAN) has previously been shown to lower the onset of cholinergic atrial fibrillation in intact animals; however, its efficacy in the setting of atrial tachycardia (AT) is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of RAN alone or in combination with amiodarone (AMIO) on rapid pacing-evoked right AT in rabbit hearts. Right atrial monophasic action potentials (MAPs) were recorded in 11 anesthetized rabbits, using combination MAP pacing catheters. Vulnerability to AT was tested by employing consecutive trains of rapid burst pacing prior to and after 2.4 mg/kg of RAN alone delivered intravenously and then in combination with 3 mg/kg of AMIO as a 15-minute infusion. Primary endpoints were postdrug AT reproducibility as well as cycle length (CL) and tachycardia duration. MAP duration at 75% repolarization and the effective refractory period (ERP) were assessed during programmed pacing to calculate the atrial postrepolarization refractoriness (aPRR = ERP - MAPD
