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

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare but life-threatening heart disease, with onset in the last month of pregnancy or in the first months after delivery. Extensive studies on the burden of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias are lacking. Patients with PPCM present with electrocardiographic findings typical in acute heart failure. Management of arrhythmias in PPCM depends on the severity and the onset (during pregnancy or after delivery). Studies on the use of the wearable cardioverter-defibrillator in patients with PPCM show a substantial burden of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden death in patients with severely reduced left ventricular function. The aim of the present article is to summarize actual knowledge on electrocardiogram findings, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death in patients with PPCM.
