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

Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare disorder characterized by a triad of ventricular arrhythmia (VA), dysmorphic features, and periodic paralysis. Due to the rarity of this condition, less is known about physiologic effect of pregnancy to ATS and arrhythmia. There is no established guideline for peripartum or postpartum treatment and prevention of arrhythmia in ATS; thus, the clinical management is challenging. We reported two KCNJ2-associated ATS patients who got pregnant and underwent vaginal birth safely. Both individuals had VA, micrognathia without periodic paralysis. β-blocker plus flecainide could be an effective treatment combination when monotherapy failed to control arrhythmia. VA of two pregnant patients with ATS could be controlled by either physiologic changes associated pregnancy or the combination treatment of β-blocker and flecainide.
