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

Ventricular arrhythmias are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with heart disease. A growing understanding of the cardiac autonomic nervous system's crucial role in the pathogenesis of ventricular arrhythmias has led to the development of several neuromodulation therapies. Sympathetic neuromodulation is being increasingly utilized to treat ventricular arrhythmias refractory to medical therapy and catheter ablation. There is a growing body of preclinical and clinical evidence supporting the use of thoracic epidural anesthesia, stellate ganglion blockade, cardiac sympathetic denervation, and renal denervation in the treatment of recurrent ventricular arrhythmias. This review summarizes the relevant literature and discusses approaches to sympathetic neuromodulation, particularly in the management of scar-related ventricular arrhythmias.
