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

Long-term survival of patients submitted to a Fontan procedure is reduced because of arrhythmias. Late post-Fontan ventricular tachycardia is extremely rare, but it can be fatal. Consequently, the implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator may be required. The implantation of such a device after a Fontan operation can be rather difficult due to anatomic reasons that exclude transvenous approach. Epicardial ICD implantation is a treatment option for these patients. Transatrial approach, shock ICD coils placement in azygos vein or directly in the pericardium are possible alternatives. We hereby present a successful epicardial implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation in a post-Fontan 39-year-old man suffering from ventricular tachycardia.
