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

Among the inherited ion channelopathies associated with potentially life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia syndromes in nominally structurally normal hearts are the J wave syndromes, which include the Brugada (BrS) and early repolarization (ERS) syndromes. These ion channelopathies are responsible for sudden cardiac death (SCD), most often in young adults in the third and fourth decade of life. Our principal goal in this review is to briefly outline the clinical characteristics, as well as the molecular, ionic, cellular, and genetic mechanisms underlying these primary electrical diseases that have challenged the cardiology community over the past two decades. In addition, we discuss our recently developed whole-heart experimental model of BrS, providing compelling evidence in support of the repolarization hypothesis for the BrS phenotype as well as novel findings demonstrating that voltage-gated sodium and transient outward current channels can modulate each other's function via trafficking and gating mechanisms with implications for improved understanding of the genetics of both cardiac and neuronal syndromes.
