Remodeling of the Purkinje Network in Congestive Heart Failure in the Rabbit.
Article in Circulation. Heart failure, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
backgroundPurkinje fibers (PFs) control timing of ventricular conduction and play a key role in arrhythmogenesis in heart failure (HF) patients. We investigated the effects of HF on PFs.
methodsEchocardiography, electrocardiography, micro-computed tomography, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, volume electron microscopy, and sharp microelectrode electrophysiology were used.
resultsCongestive HF was induced in rabbits by left ventricular volume- and pressure-overload producing left ventricular hypertrophy, diminished fractional shortening and ejection fraction, and increased left ventricular dimensions. HF baseline QRS and corrected QT interval were prolonged by 17% and 21% (mean±SEMs: 303±6 ms HF, 249±11 ms control; n=8/7;
conclusionsSevere volume- followed by pressure-overload causes rapidly progressing HF with extensive remodeling of PFs. The PF network is central to both arrhythmogenesis and contractile dysfunction and the pathological remodeling may increase the risk of fatal arrhythmias in HF patients.
