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

INTRODUCTION AND

objectiveNowadays, investigations of heart physiology and pathophysiology rely more and more upon image analysis, whether for the detection and characterization of events in single cells or for the mapping of events and their characteristics across an entire tissue. These investigations require extensive skills in image analysis and/or expensive software, and their reproducibility may be a concern. Our objective was to build a robust, reliable and open-source software tool to quantify excitation-contraction related experimental data at multiple scales, from single isolated cells to the whole heart. METHODS AND

resultsA free and open-source ImageJ plugin, Spiky, was developed to detect and analyze peaks in experimental data streams. It allows rapid and easy analysis of action potentials, intracellular calcium transient and contraction data from cardiac research experiments. As shown in the provided examples, both classical bi-dimensional data (XT signals) and video data obtained from confocal microscopy and optical mapping experiments (XYT signals) can be analyzed. Spiky was written in ImageJ Macro Language and JAVA, and works under Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.

conclusionSpiky provides a complete working interface to process and analyze cardiac physiology research data.
