ECG Features in Orthotopic Cardiac Xenotransplantation: Comparisons With Published Literature.
Article in Xenotransplantation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionAlthough there is a plethora of literature on electrocardiographic changes following cardiac allotransplantation, there is little in the field of cardiac xenotransplantation. The only published literature to date is that of the first pig-to-human cardiac xenotransplantation. Here we take a close look at the electrocardiographic parameters in four non-human primate recipients of orthotopic cardiac xenotransplantation to develop baseline metrics for comparison.
methodsOrthotopic cardiac xenotransplantion was carried out in four non-human primate recipients. Electrocardiographic parameters were followed at various intervals using an internal hemodynamic monitoring system (DSI) as well as a standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). ECG intervals were then compared to published literature on porcine ECG intervals and pig-to-human cardiac xenotransplantation.
resultsThere were no significant differences observed between timepoints for HR, PR, QRS, QT, or QTc after cardiac xenotransplantation for each animal subject. ECG parameters were statistically similar to those of in situ mini-pig hearts in the literature. ECG parameters from the DSI on average were shorter than those from a traditional ECG, however, DSI parameters were consistent over time.
conclusionThese results demonstrate the possibility of conduction health for genetically engineered porcine donor hearts following cardiac xenotransplantation. Ongoing work to compare the results of an ECG in a porcine donor heart before and after implantation into a NHP is necessary to better characterize variables that may be at play in the function of the conduction system.
