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

purposeIdiopathic outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias are ventricular tachycardias or premature ventricular contractions presumably not related to myocardial scar or disorders of ion channels. These arrhythmias have focal origin and display characteristic electrocardiographic features. The purpose of this article is to review the state of the art of diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias.

methodsWe systematically reviewed scientific literature about idiopathic outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias selecting the most relevant papers on this topic.

resultsThe right ventricle outflow tract is the most common site of origin for outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias, but also left ventricle outflow tract can harbour these arrhythmias. Outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias are generally benign and may require treatment if they are symptomatic, incessant or give rise to cardiomyopathy. Radiofrequency catheter ablation is an effective and safe therapeutic strategy. A successful procedure requires a thorough preoperative analysis of the 12-lead electrocardiogram of the spontaneous arrhythmia combined with a detailed electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac echocardiography.

conclusionsIdiopathic outflow tract arrhythmias are frequent in daily clinical practice and can be successfully eliminated through discrete radiofrequency catheter ablation with low rates of complications.
