Quantitative Assessment of Vectorcardiographic Loop Morphology.
Article in Journal of electrocardiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Vectorcardiography (VCG), developed 100years ago, characterizes clinically important electrophysiological properties of the heart. In this study, VCG QRS loop roundness, planarity, thickness, rotational angle, and dihedral angle were measured in 81 healthy control subjects (39.0±14.2y; 51.8% male; 94% white), and 8 patients with infarct-cardiomyopathy and sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) (68.0±7.8y, 37.5% male). The angle between two consecutive QRS vectors was defined as the rotational angle, while dihedral angle quantified planar alteration over the QRS loop. In VT subjects, planarity index decreased (0.63±0.22 vs. 0.88±0.10; P=0.014), and dihedral angle was significantly more variable (variance of dihedral angle, median (IQR): 897(575-1450) vs. 542(343-773); P=0.029; rMSSD: 47.7±12.7 vs. 35.1±13.1; P=0.027). Abnormal electrophysiological substrate in VT patients is characterized by the appearance of QRS loop folding, likely due to local conduction block. The presence of fragmented QRS complexes on the 12-lead ECG had low sensitivity (31%) for detecting QRS loop folding on the VCG.
