The timing of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation in patients with heart failure.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 who survive a myocardial infarction (MI) are at increased risk of sudden death due to fatal ventricular arrhythmias. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) reduce mortality in appropriately selected patients with heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction, regardless of etiology. Post hoc analyses from landmark trials have evaluated the effect of time (both since MI and duration of nonischemic cardiomyopathy) before ICD implantation on the efficacy of ICD therapy. Time remains a clinically important variable in the decision of if and when to implant an ICD. Future trials should focus on invasive and/or noninvasive risk stratification of patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy for better identification of those who would benefit from early ICD implantation, and those in whom a watch and wait approach is appropriate.
