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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of the current mini-review is to describe the importance of surface ECG for the diagnosis of conduction disorder.

methodsThe MEDLINE/PubMed database was used, with the keywords "ECG" and "conduction disorders"; over the past 10 years. Other documents were included because of their relevance. MAIN

findingsData on the anatomy and function of the cardiac electrical system have been described. Conduction disorders including sinus node dysfunction, atrioventricular blocks, intraventricular conduction disorders are exposed as to their epidemiology, etiology, presentation, anatomical site of impaired conduction of the electrical stimulus. The importance of ECG in patients with a cardiac implantable electronic device was also discussed, in addition to future perspectives.

conclusionSurface ECG allows the diagnosis of atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction disorder and its anatomical block site most of the time, without the need for invasive tests such as electrophysiological study. Dysfunctions of cardiac implantable electronic devices can be diagnosed by ECG, as well as the prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
