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

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) offer the potential to prevent sudden cardiac death and demonstrated a survival benefit in high risk cardiac patients. ICD implantation rates vary significantly throughout the countries all over Europe although there are no major differences in cardiovascular morbidity among countries. ICD implantation rates in each European country may be influenced by economic factors, including the gross domestic product, its percentage devoted to public health, and organization of the health system. However, ICD implantation rates vary substantially also among countries with a high gross domestic product. Beyond economy, other important factors that may influence ICD implantation rates are lack of guidelines awareness and poor guidelines adherence especially when treating specific subgroup of patients (such as elderly and those with non ischemic cardiomyopathies).
