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
Action potential duration (APD) alternans, an alternating phenomenon between action potentials in cardiomyocytes, causes heart arrhythmia when the heart rate is high. However, some of the APD alternans observed in clinical trials occurs under slow heart rate conditions of 100 to 120 bpm, increasing the likelihood of heart arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. Advanced studies have identified the occurrence of this type of APD alternans in terms of electrophysiological ion channel currents in cells. However, they only identified physiological phenomena, such as action potential due to random changes in a particular ion channel's conductivity through ion models specializing in specific ion channel currents. In this study, we performed parameter sensitivity analysis via population modeling using a validated human ventricular physiology model to check the sensitivity of APD alternans to ion channel conductances. Through population modeling, we expressed the changes in alternans onset cycle length (AOCL) and mean APD in AOCL (AO meanAPD) according to the variations in ion channel conductance. Finally, we identified the ion channel that maximally affected the occurrence of APD alternans. AOCL and AO meanAPD were sensitive to changes in the plateau Ca
