Predictors of Elevated Defibrillation Threshold with the Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator.
Article in The Journal of innovations in cardiac rhythm management, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
There are limited data regarding defibrillation thresholds (DFTs) for the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD), and factors associated with elevated DFTs remain incompletely understood. The objective of this study was to determine the factors associated with elevated DFTs in patients undergoing S-ICD implantation. A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of all patients undergoing S-ICD implantation at our institution between 2013 and 2016 who underwent step-down DFT testing was performed. Factors associated with a higher DFT were analyzed. In total, 56 patients (mean age: 49.3 ± 13.1 years, mean left ventricular ejection rate: 31.1% ± 13.7%) underwent S-ICD implantation in the study period. Full DFT testing was performed in 31 of the 56 patients (55%), with an average DFT of 46.4 joules (J) ± 25.9 J found among this cohort. The DFT was > 65 J in five of the 31 patients (16%). A high DFT was associated with increased body mass index (BMI) (37.7 kg/m
