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
backgroundBrugada syndrome (BrS) is diagnosed in patients with ST-segment elevation with spontaneous, drug-induced, or fever-induced type 1 morphology. Prognosis in type 2 or 3 Brugada electrocardiogram (Br-ECG) patients remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term prognosis in non-type 1 Br-ECG patients in a large Japanese cohort of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (The Japan Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation Study [J-IVFS]).
methodsFrom 567 patients with Br-ECG in J-IVFS, a total of 28 consecutive non-type 1 patients who underwent programmed electrical stimulation (PES) (median age: 58 years, all male, previous sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias [VTs] 1, syncope 11, asymptomatic 16) were enrolled. Cardiac events (CEs: sudden cardiac death or sustained VT/ventricular fibrillation) during the follow-up period were examined.
resultsDuring a median follow-up of 136 months, four patients (14%) had CEs. None of patients with PES- have experienced CEs. There was no statistically significant clinical risk factor for the development of CEs. Using the Kaplan-Meier method, the event-free rate significantly decreased in a group with all 3 risk factors (symptom, wide QRS complex in lead V
conclusionsOur study revealed long-term prognosis in patients with non-type 1 Br-ECG. The combination analysis of these risk factors may be useful for the risk stratification of CEs in non-type 1 Br-ECG patients. The present study suggests that the patients with all these parameters showed high risk for CEs and need to be carefully followed.
