Prevalence and incidence of arrhythmias and sudden death in heart failure.
Review in Heart failure reviews, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Patients with heart failure are prone to a variety of arrhythmias, symptomatic and asymptomatic, that are prognostically significant and have an important bearing on the management of these patients. However there are some inherent problems in assessing the frequency of these arrhythmias within a large patient population, due to a lack of uniformity in defining heart failure and the transient nature of these rhythms. Patients with heart failure commonly die suddenly. The causes of these deaths are difficult to ascertain accurately and are often presumed arrhythmic. With the advent of effective interventions to prevent sudden death, accurately defining the causal relationship between the arrhythmias and sudden death has assumed great importance to appropriately target therapy. Several attempts have been made to predict such deaths on the basis of non-invasive and invasive diagnostic investigations with variable success. In this article we review the incidence and prevalence of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias and sudden deaths in epidemiological studies, surveys and randomised control trials of patients with heart failure. We discuss the prognostic significance of these arrhythmias, the inherent problems in their diagnosis and whether their presence predicts the risk of sudden deaths and the mode of such deaths in the heart failure population. The role of various investigations in risk stratification of sudden death has also been discussed.
