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

The pro-arrhythmic triggers in Brugada and early repolarization syndromes (BrS, ERS) have not been analyzed systematically except for case reports. We clinically investigated the circumstances which precede/predispose to arrhythmic events in these syndromes during long-term follow-up. A detailed history from the patients/witnesses was taken to investigate the antecedent events in the last few hours that preceded syncope/ventricular fibrillation (VF); medical records, ECG and blood test from the emergency room (ER) were reviewed. 19 patients that fulfilled the investigation criteria were followed up for 71 ± 49 months (34-190 months). Prior to the event (syncope/VF), the patients were partaking different activities in the following decreasing order; drinking alcoholic beverage, having meal, and getting up from sleep, exercise. 3 patients reported mental/physical stress prior to the event and 2 patients developed VF several days after starting oral steroid for treatment of bronchial asthma. In the ER, elevated J-wave amplitude (0.27 ± 0.15 mV) was found with 58 % of the patients having hypokalemia. After electrolyte correction and cessation of steroids, the following day plasma K
