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

Analysis of the spatio-temporal distribution of calcium sparks showed a preferential increase in sparks near the sarcolemma in atrial myocytes from patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), linked to higher ryanodine receptor (RyR2) phosphorylation at s2808 and lower calsequestrin-2 levels. Mathematical modeling, incorporating modulation of RyR2 gating, showed that only the observed combinations of RyR2 phosphorylation and calsequestrin-2 levels can account for the spatio-temporal distribution of sparks in patients with and without AF. Furthermore, we demonstrate that preferential calcium release near the sarcolemma is key to a higher incidence and amplitude of afterdepolarizations in atrial myocytes from patients with AF.
