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

During the last decade, cardiac optogenetics has turned into an essential tool for investigating cardiac function in general and for assessing functional interactions between different myocardial cell types in particular. To advance exploitation of the unique research opportunities offered by this method, we develop a panoramic opto-electrical measurement and stimulation (POEMS) system for mouse hearts. The core of the experimental platform is composed of 294 optical fibers and 64 electrodes that form a cup which embraces the entire ventricular surface of mouse hearts and enables straightforward 'drop&go' experimentation. The flexible assignment of fibers and electrodes to recording or stimulation tasks permits a precise tailoring of experiments to the specific requirements of individual optogenetic constructs thereby avoiding spectral congestion. Validation experiments with hearts from transgenic animals expressing the optogenetic voltage reporters ASAP1 and ArcLight-Q239 demonstrate concordance of simultaneously recorded panoramic optical and electrical activation maps. The feasibility of single fiber optical stimulation is proven with hearts expressing the optogenetic voltage actuator ReaChR. Adaptation of the POEMS system to larger hearts and incorporation of additional sensors can be achieved by redesigning the system-core accordingly.
