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

The dog with chronic atrioventricular block (CAVB) combines a number of risk factors associated with Torsade de Pointes (TdP) arrhythmias. Nevertheless, approximately 33% of the animals are resistant to dofetilide-induced TdP arrhythmia. Of a group of 78 experimentally identical CAVB dogs, we compared TdP inducible vs. non-inducible animals for a set of basic, and cardiac electrical and mechanical parameters. Body weight, but not sex or age, is associated with TdP inducibility. Of the cardiac parameters, longer ventricular repolarization duration and increased contractility at baseline are associated with dofetilide-induced TdP arrhythmias. Differences in cardiac parameters disappeared upon dofetilide infusion. We discuss that prolonged repolarization and increased contractility may be early indications of calcium-mediated early after depolarization that may develop into TdP arrhythmias.
