Detection of cardiac involvement in pulmonary sarcoidosis using high-resolution Holter electrocardiogram.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundEarly detection of cardiac involvement in patients with sarcoidosis is important but currently unresolved. The aim of this study was to elucidate the utility of frequency domain microvolt T-wave alternans (TWA), signal-averaged ECG (SAECG), and heart rate turbulence (HRT) using 24-hour Holter ECG for detecting cardiac involvement in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.
methodsThis study consisted of consecutive 40 pulmonary sarcoidosis patients (11 males, 62 ± 13 years) who underwent 24-hour Holter monitoring with and without cardiac involvement. All patients underwent frequency domain TWA, SAECG, and HRT using 24-hour Holter monitoring. Patients with atrial fibrillation pacing or wide QRS electrocardiogram were excluded.
resultsAfter 14 patients were excluded, a total of 26 patients (six males, 59 ± 14 years) were evaluated. Seven patients had cardiac involvement (cardiac sarcoidosis [CS] group). On the Holter SAECG, duration of low-amplitude signals <40 μV in the terminal filtered QRS complex (LAS40) was significantly higher, and root mean square voltage of the terminal 40 ms of the filtered QRS complex (RMS40) was significantly lower in the CS group compared with the non-CS group (LAS40: 61.4 ± 35.9 vs 37.6 ± 9.2 ms;
conclusionHolter SAECG may be useful for detecting cardiac involvement in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.
