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.
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
We investigated the effects on the electrophysiological properties of ventricular muscle fibres from lizards kept at 20 degrees C of mild and severe hyperthyroidism. The hyperthyroidism was induced by a 4-day treatment with either 0.025 or 1.0 microgram triiodothyronine g-1 body weight, documented by increased serum levels of thyroid hormone. Triiodothyronine treatment did not modify the duration of the action potential recorded in vitro at 25 degrees C from ventricular muscles stimulated at 1 Hz. Recordings at higher temperatures were associated with a faster repolarization phase and a decrease of of action potential duration in both euthyroid and hyperthyroid animals. However, in lizards treated with 1.0 microgram triiodothyronine . g-1 body weight, the 90% repolarization recovery times at 30 and 35 degrees C (95.6 +/- 14.9 ms and 53.0 +/- 6.0 ms, respectively), were significantly shorter than normal (177.6 +/- 29.2 and 107.2 +/ 18.1 ms, respectively). Action potential duration was also dependent on stimulation frequency of the preparations. Increased frequency led to significant decrease of the duration of action potentials recorded at 25 degrees C. In euthyroid preparations the reductions in 90% repolarization recovery time, owing to increase in stimulation frequency to 2.5 and 5 Hz, were 19.3 +/- 1.7 and 35.6 +/- 2.0 ms, respectively. In hyperthyroid preparations, the reductions in the 90% recovery time due to stimulus frequency increases varied from 35.4 +/- 1.9 and 58.1 +/- 2.1 ms at low hormone doses to 38.9 +/- 2.0 and 58.2 +/- 2.1 ms at high hormone doses. As a result of these differences, the action potential durations recorded from the two hyperthyroid preparations at high stimulation rates were shorter than from euthyroid preparations. The results obtained suggest that lizard cardiac tissue is responsive to hormone action at low environmental temperature, but the effects of such action become evident when the temperature and heart rate increase.
