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 electrophysiological disorders, in particular arrhythmias, are a key cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. There are two basic requirements for arrhythmogenesis: an underlying substrate and a trigger. Altered conduction velocity (CV) provides a key substrate for arrhythmogenesis, with slowed CV increasing the probability of re-entrant arrhythmias by reducing the length scale over which re-entry can occur. In this review, we examine methods to measure cardiac CV in vivo and ex vivo, discuss underlying determinants of CV, and address how pathological variations alter CV, potentially increasing arrhythmogenic risk. Finally, we will highlight future directions both for methodologies to measure CV and for possible treatments to restore normal CV.
