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

Obesity is an established risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) and is associated with hypersecretion of the adipokine chemerin. Chemerin has been linked to the AF initiation and progression predominantly through Chemokine-like receptor 1(CMKLR1)-mediated signaling. This study aimed to elucidate how activation of the chemerin-CMKLR1 contributes to atrial potassium current dysregulation in obesity-related AF. Male C57BL/6J mice were divided into high-fat diet (HFD) and low-fat diet (LFD) group. Action potentials and potassium currents were recorded by whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology. HFD mice exhibited significantly increased susceptibility to AF. Atrial myocytes from HFD mice showed marked shortening of action potential duration, primarily due to an increase in peak repolarizing potassium current (
