Outcomes of sustained fetal tachyarrhythmias after transplacental treatment.
Article in Heart rhythm O2, 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
backgroundFetal tachyarrhythmia is a condition that may lead to cardiac dysfunction, hydrops, and death. Despite a transplacental treatment, failure to obtain or maintain sinus rhythm may occur.
objectiveWe aimed to analyze the perinatal outcomes of sustained fetal tachyarrhythmias after in utero treatment.
methodsWe performed a retrospective evaluation of 69 cases with sustained fetal tachyarrhythmia. We compared the perinatal and long-term outcomes of prenatally converted and drug-resistant fetuses. Tachyarrhythmia subtypes were also evaluated.
resultsConversion to sinus rhythm was obtained in 74% of cases; 26% of cases were drug-resistant and delivered arrhythmic. Three perinatal deaths occurred in both groups (6.7% vs 17%,
conclusionPrenatal conversion to stable sinus rhythm is a major determinant of perinatal and long-term outcomes in fetal tachyarrhythmias. The underlying electrophysiological mechanisms have a major role in predicting these differential outcomes with an overrepresentation of PJRT in the drug-resistant population.
