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

Syncope and risk of sudden death due to ventricular tachyarrhythmia are the common manifestations of several inherited disorders. Abnormalities of the genetic makeup may directly affect proteins controlling cardiac excitability in a structurally normal heart. Other diseases manifest primarily with ventricular arrhythmias even though the genetic mutations cause structural abnormalities of the myocardium. This is the case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Groundbreaking discoveries, starting from the 1990s until the beginning of the current decade, have provided fundamental knowledge on the major genes that confer an increased risk of arrhythmias and sudden death. Stems of such knowledge are the availability of genetic diagnosis, genotype-phenotype correlation, and genotype-based risk stratification schemes currently used in the clinical practice. This review provides a concise description of the known genes and key mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of inherited arrhythmias. In addition, we outline possibilities, limitations, advantages, and potential threats of genetically screening for these genes.
