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

Computer-generated Bazett-corrected QT (QTcB) algorithms are common in clinical practice and can rapidly identify repolarization abnormalities, but accuracy is variable. This report highlights marked rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation not detected by the computer algorithm. A 26-year-old woman with anorexia nervosa was admitted with severe hypokalemia and ventricular ectopy. Computer-generated QTcB was 485 ms, while manual adjudication yielded a QTcB of 657 ms and a Fridericia-corrected QT (QTcF) interval of 626 ms using digital calipers. Computer-generated QTc intervals may aid in clinical decision-making. However, accuracy is variable, particularly in the setting of ectopy, and requires manual verification.
