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

Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a genetically heterogeneous group of heritable disorders of myocardial repolarization linked by the shared clinical phenotype of QT prolongation on electrocardiogram and an increased risk of potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. At the molecular level, mutations in 15 distinct LQTS-susceptibility genes that encode ion channel pore-forming α-subunits and accessory β-subunits central to the electromechanical function of the heart have been implicated in its pathogenesis. Over the past 2 decades, our evolving understanding of the electrophysiological mechanisms by which specific genetic substrates perturb the cardiac action potential has translated into vastly improved approaches to the diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment of patients with LQTS. In this review, we describe how our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of LQTS has yielded numerous clinically meaningful genotype-phenotype correlations and how these insights have translated into genotype- and phenotype-guided approaches to the clinical management of LQTS.
