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

Drug-induced cardiotoxicity remains a significant challenge in pharmaceutical development. While patch-clamp remains the gold standard for evaluating ion channel effects, its low throughput limits early-phase screening. Multi-electrode array (MEA) systems offer higher throughput but often fail to mechanistically distinguish between various sodium channel modulators, such as agonists versus antagonists. The purpose of this study was to develop a cardiac safety assessment method capable of mechanistically distinguishing sodium channel modulators. In this study, we developed a cardiac safety assessment method using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) combined with fluorescence-based intracellular Na
