Action potential responses to changes in stimulation frequency and isoproterenol in rat ventricular myocytes.
Article in Physiological reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeCurrent understanding of ventricular action potential adaptation to physiological stress is generally based on protocols using non-physiological rates and conditions isolating rate effects from escalating adrenergic stimulation. To permit refined understanding, ventricular action potentials were assessed across physiological pacing frequencies in the presence and absence of adrenergic stimuli. Isolated and combined effects were analyzed to assess their ability to replicate in-vivo responses.
methodsSteady-state action potentials from ventricular myocytes isolated from male Wistar rats (3 months; N = 8 animals) were recorded at 37°C with steady-state pacing at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 Hz using whole-cell patch-clamp. Action potential repolarization to 25, 50, 75, 90 and 100% of full repolarization (APD
resultsA Repeated measures ANOVA found APD
conclusionThese results demonstrate modest action potential shortening in response to adrenergic stimulation and elevations in pacing beyond physiological resting rates. Our findings indicate changes in action potential plateau and late repolarization predominantly underlie simulated exercise responses in the rat heart. This work provides novel action potential reference data and will help model cardiac responses to physiological stimuli in the rat heart via computational techniques.
