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

Highlighting the importance of sex as a biological variable, we recently reported sex differences in guinea pig in vivo electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements. However, substantial inconsistencies exist in this animal model, with conflicting reports of sex-specific differences in cardiac electrophysiology observed in vivo and in vitro. Herein, we evaluated whether sexual dimorphism persists in ex vivo preparations, using an isolated intact heart preparation. Pseudo-ECG recordings were collected in conjunction with dual optical mapping of transmembrane voltage and intracellular calcium from Langendorff-perfused hearts. In contrast to our in vivo results, we did not observe sex-specific differences in ECG parameters collected from isolated hearts. Furthermore, we observed significant age-specific differences in action potential duration (APD) and Ca
