[Premature ventricular contractions and tachycardia in a structurally normal heart : Idiopathic PVC and VT].
Article in Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Premature ventricular contractions (PVC) are a common, often incidental and mostly benign finding. Treatment is indicated in frequent and symptomatic PVC or in cases of worsening of left ventricular function. Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) is mostly found in patients with a structurally healthy heart. These PVC/VT usually have a focal origin. The most likely mechanism is delayed post-depolarization. Localization of the origin is based on the creation of an activation map with or without combination of pace mapping. Idiopathic PVC/VT are most frequently located on the outflow tracts of the right and left ventricles, including the aortic root. Other typical locations include the annulus of the tricuspid or mitral valve, papillary muscles and Purkinje fibers. Catheter ablation is an alternative to antiarrhythmic medication in symptomatic monomorphic PVC/VT. The success rate is good whereby mapping and ablation can often represent a challenge. This article is the fifth part of a series dedicated to specific advanced training in the field of special rhythmology and invasive electrophysiology. It describes the pathophysiological principles, types and typical findings that can be obtained during an electrophysiological investigation.
