Exercise-Induced Premature Ventricular Contractions Are Associated With Myocardial Ischemia Among Asymptomatic Adult Male Firefighters: Implications for Enhanced Risk Stratification.

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
backgroundExercise-induced premature ventricular contractions (EI-PVCs) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease among asymptomatic adult males, but the underlying mechanisms remain understudied. Myocardial ischemia due to cardiovascular disease reduces coronary blood flow, may impair exercise performance, and initiates EI-PVCs; thus, EI-PVCs may be an early indicator of cardiovascular disease.
objectiveThe objective of this study was to determine whether EI-PVCs are associated with myocardial ischemia and reduced exercise performance among asymptomatic adult firefighters.
methodsAsymptomatic adult firefighters free of known cardiovascular disease underwent exercise treadmill testing. A 12-lead electrocardiography was placed on participants for 24 hr afterward to measure EI-PVCs in recovery. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression models were used to assess the odds of myocardial ischemia. Sensitivity and specificity analyses were conducted. Statistical significance was set at
resultsParticipants comprised 86 asymptomatic adult males. The prevalence of myocardial ischemia was 30.8%. A single EI-PVC was associated with myocardial ischemia (χ DISCUSSION: EI-PVCs are associated with myocardial ischemia among asymptomatic male firefighters, providing additional evidence of the association between EI-PVCs and myocardial ischemia and suggesting EI-PVCs as an early indicator of cardiovascular disease.
