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

backgroundSpontaneous automaticity of sinoatrial node cells (SANCs) is driven by a system that couples ion channels, membrane clock and Ca

methodsReal-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, immunostaining, whole-cell patch clamp, and line-scan confocal microscopy were employed to study EPAC-dependent regulation of rabbit SANC firing.

resultsBoth EPAC isoforms were expressed and active in SANC. Selective inhibition of EPAC1 (CE3F4) or EPAC2 (HJC0350) similarly suppressed basal CaMKII activity, CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation of Ca

conclusionsEPAC is an essential component of basal cardiac pacemaker function, which accelerates spontaneous automaticity of SANC via an increase in basal CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation of Ca
