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

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, demanding new tools to improve mechanistic understanding and overcome limitations of stem cell and animal-based research. We introduce T-World, a highly general virtual model of human ventricular cardiomyocyte suitable for multiscale studies. T-World shows comprehensive agreement with human physiology, from electrical activation to contraction, and is the first to replicate all key cellular mechanisms driving life-threatening arrhythmias. Extensively validated on unseen data, it demonstrates strong predictivity across applications and scales. Using T-World we revealed a likely sex-specific arrhythmia risk in females related to restitution properties, identified arrhythmia drivers in type 2 diabetes, and describe unexpected pro-arrhythmic role of NaV1.8 in heart failure. T-World demonstrates strong performance in predicting drug-induced arrhythmia risk and opens new opportunities for predicting and explaining drug efficacy, demonstrated by unpicking effects of mexiletine in Long QT syndrome 2. T-World is available as open-source code and an online app.
