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 primary electrical disorders are a group of inherited cardiac ventricular arrhythmias that are a major cause of sudden cardiac death in young individuals. Inherited ventricular arrhythmias result from mutations in genes encoding cardiac ion channels or their modulatory subunits. Advances in genetic screening in the past three decades have led to the assembly of large patient cohorts with these disorders. Studies in these patients, as well as in the general population, have striven to define the prevalence of these inherited arrhythmias and the characteristics of patients with different genetic subtypes of the disease. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive update on the epidemiology of inherited ventricular arrhythmias, focusing on natural history, prevalence and patient demographics. In addition, we summarize the various founder populations (groups of individuals with a disease that is caused by a genetic defect inherited from a common ancestor) that have been identified for some of these disorders and which lead to increased prevalence in some geographical regions. To date, although numerous studies have markedly increased our understanding of the epidemiology of these disorders, demographic data, especially from non-Western countries, remain scarce. Furthermore, defining the true prevalence of these disorders remains challenging. International collaboration will undoubtedly accelerate the collection of demographic information and improve the accuracy of prevalence data.
