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

Cardiac arrhythmias are associated with structural and electrical remodeling processes that generate heterogeneous arrhythmogenic substrates characterized by low-voltage areas and abnormal conduction. Although electroanatomical voltage mapping is widely used for substrate characterization, epicardial voltage thresholds remain highly dependent on species, chamber, and recording configuration, and have not been systematically established for isolated rabbit hearts. We hypothesized that healthy rabbit epicardial tissue exhibits reproducible chamber-specific voltage distributions and that arrhythmias produce dynamic rhythm-dependent low-voltage areas substrate behavior. Isolated New Zealand White rabbit hearts (n = 9) were perfused using a Langendorff system and mapped using custom epicardial multi-electrode arrays. Unipolar EGMs were acquired from the right atrium (RA), left atrium (LA), and ventricular epicardium (V), while bipolar EGMs were derived from adjacent electrodes. Chamber-specific voltage thresholds were determined from sinus rhythm (SR) recordings using 95
