Automatic Activity Arising in Cardiac Muscle Sleeves of the Pulmonary Vein.
Review in Biomolecules, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Ectopic activity in the pulmonary vein cardiac muscle sleeves can both induce and maintain human atrial fibrillation. A central issue in any study of the pulmonary veins is their difference from the left atrial cardiac muscle. Here, we attempt to summarize the physiological phenomena underlying the occurrence of ectopic electrical activity in animal pulmonary veins. We emphasize that the activation of multiple signaling pathways influencing not only myocyte electrophysiology but also the means of excitation-contraction coupling may be required for the initiation of triggered or automatic activity. We also gather information regarding not only the large-scale structure of cardiac muscle sleeves but also recent studies suggesting that cellular heterogeneity may contribute to the generation of arrythmogenic phenomena and to the distinction between pulmonary vein and left atrial heart muscle.
