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

Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are a major cause of death in patients with cardiomyopathy. To date, impaired left ventricular ejection fraction remains the primary criterion for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy to prevent sudden cardiac death. In recent years, however, advanced imaging techniques such as nuclear imaging, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography have allowed for a more detailed evaluation of the underlying substrate of VA. These imaging modalities have emerged as a promising approach to assess the risk of sudden cardiac death. In addition, non-invasive identification of the critical sites of arrhythmias may guide ablation therapy. Typical anatomical substrates that can be evaluated by multiple advanced imaging techniques include perfusion abnormalities, scar and its border zone, and sympathetic denervation. Understanding the principles and techniques of different imaging modalities is essential to gain more insight in their role in identifying the arrhythmic substrate. The current review describes the principles of currently available imaging techniques to identify the substrate of VA.
