Analysis of the shape of the T-wave in congenital long-QT syndrome type 3 by geometric morphometrics.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The characteristic shape of the T-wave in congenital long-QT syndrome type 3 (LQTS3) is considered a late-onset T-wave. We analyzed the difference in the shapes of the T-waves of V5 in the electrocardiograms (ECGs) of LQTS3 cases and normal subjects using generalized Procrustes analysis. The J and Q points of LQTS3 cases are shifted to the upper left compared to those of normal subjects. SdFmax is the point on the ECG where the second derivative is first maximized. SdFmax is the point where the change in the slope of the ascending limb of the T-wave is maximized. SdFmax in LQTS3 cases is shifted to the lower right compared to normal subjects. The interval from J to SdFmax in LQTS3 cases is expanded compared with that of normal subjects. From principal component analysis of the Procrustes mean shape of the T-wave landmarks, the second principal component shows a shift of SdFmax to the lower right. These results can quantitatively explain why the T-wave of LQTS3 cases looks like a late-onset T-wave. After being fitted to a multivariate logistic regression model, LQTS3 cases and normal subjects can be distinguished by the second independent component.
