Right coronary cusp as a new window of ablation for pilsicainide-induced ventricular premature contractions in a patient with Brugada syndrome.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A previous study demonstrated that ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are provoked during sodium channel blocker challenge tests in Brugada syndrome (BrS) patients (Morita et al., J Am Coll Cardiol 42:1624-1631, 2003). The right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is a major arrhythmogenic focus and isolated VPCs originating from that area have been shown to initiate VF (Kakishita et al., J Am Coll Cardiol 36:1646-1653, 2000). Here, we describe a case report of a BrS patient with VPCs arising from the posterior aspect of the RVOT epicardium which was provoked by a low-dose of pilsicainide, a pure sodium channel blocker, and was successfully ablated from the right coronary cusp.
