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

introductionCardiac resynchronization therapy combined with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (CRT-D) is widely applied in heart failure patients. Sufficient data on arrhythmia and defibrillator therapies during long-term follow-up of more than 4 years are lacking and data on mortality are conflicting. We aimed to characterize the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia, respective defibrillator therapies and mortality for several years following CRT-D implantation or upgrade. MATERIAL AND

methodsEighty-eight patients with ischemic (ICM) or non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and at least one CRT-D replacement were included in this study and analyzed for incidence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), defibrillator shocks, anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) and mortality.

resultsICM was the underlying disease in 59%, DCM in 41% of patients. During a mean follow-up of 76.4 ±24.8 months the incidence of appropriate defibrillator therapies (shock or ATP) was 46.6% and was elevated in ICM compared to DCM patients (57.7% vs. 30.6%, respectively;

conclusionsThe clinical course of patients with ICM and DCM treated with CRT-D differs significantly during long-term follow-up, with increased mortality and incidence of ICD therapies in ICM patients.
