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

The number of patients of reproductive age with inherited and congenital heart disease receiving implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD) is steadily increasing. Safely and effectively coordinating pregnancy in this high-risk cohort is important to optimise maternal-foetal outcomes. As members of the multidisciplinary team caring for pregnant patients with indications for ICD, cardiologists and electrophysiologists should be aware of the considerations and nuances involved in managing these patients. This article reviews the pathophysiology of arrhythmias, ICD implantation considerations, novel minimal fluoroscopy techniques and subcutaneous ICD. In addition, antenatal and device management during pregnancy and delivery are discussed.
