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

backgroundInappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) often causes palpitations, dyspnea, and exercise intolerance, that are generally treated with beta blockers and non-dihydropyridine calcium-channel antagonists. Ivabradine, a selective inhibitor of cardiac pacemaker If current, has recently emerged as an effective and safe alternative to conventional drugs for IST.

methodsWe performed a systematic overview of clinical studies on the therapeutic yield of ivabradine in patients with inappropriate sinus tachycardia, published in MEDLINE database from January 2000 to March 2015.

resultsOverall, five case reports were found, all showing efficacy of ivabradine in subjects affected by IST. Eight non-randomized clinical studies demonstrated short- and medium-term safety and efficacy of ivabradine administration in IST, also in adjunction to or in comparison with metoprolol. One double-blind randomized crossover study also showed that ivabradine is superior to placebo for heart rate (HR) reduction and symptoms control in patients affected by IST.

conclusionsIvabradine is effective and safe in short- and medium-term treatment of IST. However, long-term follow-up studies and randomized studies comparing ivabradine with beta blockers are still lacking.
