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

Local anesthetics are widely used in medical care. However, their sodium channel blocking properties not only explain their analgesic potency but also their possible cardiotoxic effects. Due to the different pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of different local anesthetics as well as the divergent cellular electrophysiological effects, we aimed to investigate and compare the electrophysiological effects of different local anesthetics in an established Langendorff model of the isolated rabbit heart. 50 hearts of New Zealand White rabbits were retrogradely perfused employing a Langendorff-setup. Eight catheters were placed endo- and epicardially, thereby recording monophasic action potentials. Hearts were paced at seven different cycle lengths (300-900 ms), thus obtaining cycle-length dependent action potential duration at 90% of repolarization (APD
