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 present case report describes a 59-year-old female with manifest Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, however, there was no indication of heart palpitations. The polarity of delta is consistent with the features of the right anteroseptal accessory pathways (APs). The echocardiography showed a remarkable dyssynchrony of the LV wall motion. To circumvent the cardiac dysfunctions, radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) was successfully performed to disconnect the AP. Thereafter, the dyssynchrony disappeared, and the clinical reports observed 6 months following RFCA showed that the LV ejection fraction had been improved from 13% up to 48%, in addition to the improvement in other parameters. The RFCA prevented her from receiving a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator as well as a heart transplantation. <
