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

It can be difficult to distinguish children with early-stage arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) from those with benign premature ventricular contraction (PVC). We retrospectively evaluated six school-aged children with ARVC and compared with those of 20 with benign PVC. The median age at initial presentation was 11.4 and 10.2 years in ARVC and benign PVC, respectively. None of the ARVC patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of ARVC at initial presentation. At ARVC diagnosis, the treadmill exercise test and Holter monitoring showed provoked PVC during exercise and pleomorphic PVC in all ARVC cases, respectively. During the observation period, terminal activation duration (TAD) was prolonged in all ARVC patients. In addition, ΔTAD (5.5 [3-10] ms) were significantly longer than those with benign PVC (p < 0.001). A new notched S-wave in V1 appeared in four (67%) ARVC patients, who had myocardial abnormalities in the right ventricle, and in zero benign PVC. Our electrocardiographic findings, such as provoked PVC during exercise, pleomorphic PVC, prolonged TAD, and a new notched S-wave in V1 could contribute to the early detection of ARVC in school-aged children.
