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

Real world data on management and outcomes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm are scarce. This prospective study evaluates the clinical profile, in-hospital outcome and intermediate outcome in patients presenting with VT Storm. A majority (36/50, 72%) were male and the age was 54 ± 15 years. Scar VT was the most common underlying substrate for VT stormand pleomorphic VT was the predominant morphology. Twenty-one (42%) patients underwent cardiac sympathetic denervation, 6 (12%) patients underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA), 3 (6%) patients amongst these underwent both the precedures in addition to conventional medical management. The overall mortality was 18% and VT free survival was 54%at 6 months follow up. VT recurrence was more common with severe LV dysfunction.
