Incidence and Time Course of Symptomatic Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia During Pregnancy: A Nation-Wide Database Study.
Article in Acta Cardiologica Sinica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundParoxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a common arrhythmia. However, its incidence and time course in pregnant women are unclear. This study was conducted to determine the incidence of PSVT in pregnant women by trimester.
methodsFrom 2001 to 2012, all pregnant women in Taiwan were monitored for PSVT events. Women who visited the emergency department or were admitted for symptomatic PSVT were enrolled in this study, and those with congenital heart diseases were excluded.
resultsA total of 2,387,588 pregnancies (1,623,596 mothers) were analyzed. For the women with no previous history of a PSVT event, the incidence rates of symptomatic PSVT were 15, 33, and 60 per 100,000 pregnancies during the first, second, and third trimester, respectively. For the women with a previous history of PSVT, the incidence rates were 5625, 9525, and 11526 per 100,000 pregnancies, respectively. Most PSVT events occurred during the third trimester.
conclusionsIn this Taiwanese cohort of pregnant women there was a stepwise increase in the incidence of symptomatic PSVT, which peaked during the third trimester. A past history of PSVT was associated with a higher risk of recurrence during pregnancy. We suggest that clinicians should be aware of this trend. Prompt management of PSVT events may prevent maternal and fetal complications.
