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

backgroundThe totally subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) was introduced as a new alternative to conventional implantable defibrillators and is employed worldwide. This system is especially attractive for young patients. However, in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), T-wave oversensing may occur. To address the question whether the S-ICD system is suitable for HCM patients, the data of a standard of care prospective single-center S-ICD registry were evaluated. METHODS AND

resultsIn the present study, 18 HCM patients who received an S-ICD for primary (n = 14) or secondary prevention (n = 4) and a minimal follow-up duration of 6 months were analyzed. The mean follow-up duration was 31.7 ± 15.4 months. Ventricular arrhythmias were adequately detected in 4 patients (22%). In 7 patients (39%), T-wave oversensing was noticed and led to at least one inappropriate shock in 4 patients (22%). Further adverse events included surgical revision due to a mobile sensing electrode and resulting noise detection as well as one case of early battery failure requiring pulse generator change.

conclusionPatients with HCM and S-ICD systems have an increased risk of T-wave oversensing and inappropriate shock delivery. Thorough monitoring as well as exercise tests may help to improve device settings and thereby prevent T-wave oversensing.
