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

backgroundThe exact differences between the TU wave complex of ATS1 and that of healthy individuals remain to be investigated. We sought to characterize the TU wave complex of Andersen-Tawil syndrome type 1 (ATS1) using high frequency electrocardiogram (ECG) data.

methodsElectrocardiograms were recorded as time series data with a 2 kHz frequency ECG amplifier in 13 patients with ATS1 (positive for KCNJ2 mutation, ATS1 group) and age-matched healthy individuals (control group). Conventional ECG parameters were measured, and principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA) were applied to the TU wave complex.

resultsTime from T peak (Tp) to U peak (Up), time from bottom (B) to Up, and time from B to U end (BUe, U duration) (0.232 ± 0.018 vs. 0.165 ± 0.017, p < .0001), where B is the lowest point between T and U waves, were all longer in the ATS1 group than the control group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that BUe could completely differentiate the two groups. PCA ratios in the ATS1 group were significantly larger than the control group (26.5 ± 12.3 vs. 10.4 ± 6.2, p = .0005). ICA revealed 1 or 2 U-wave-specific independent components (ICs) that exclusively comprise the U wave in ATS1, whereas U waves in the control group were composed of some ICs that also comprised T waves.

conclusionsU-wave-related temporal parameters, particularly BUe, and the existence of U-wave-specific ICs, extracted in the ICA, are useful for differentiation of U waves in ATS1 from those in healthy individuals.
