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

Electrical activity plays a key role in physiology, in particular for signaling and coordination. Cellular electrophysiology is often studied with micropipette-based techniques such as patch clamp and sharp electrodes, but for measurements at the tissue or organ scale, more integrated approaches are needed. Epifluorescence imaging of voltage-sensitive dyes ("optical mapping") is a tissue non-destructive approach to obtain insight into electrophysiology with high spatiotemporal resolution. Optical mapping has primarily been applied to excitable organs, especially the heart and brain. Action potential durations, conduction patterns, and conduction velocities can be determined from the recordings, providing information about electrophysiological mechanisms, including factors such as effects of pharmacological interventions, ion channel mutations, or tissue remodeling. Here, we describe the process for optical mapping of Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts, highlighting potential issues and key considerations.
