Tachycardia in pregnancy: when to worry?
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Tachycardia in pregnancy is common, and distinguishing between physiological and pathological causes can be a challenge. Understanding the cardiovascular changes that take place in pregnancy can help to direct investigations. The finding of a persistent tachycardia, regardless of symptoms, should always prompt clinical review and consideration of investigations (such as blood tests, electrocardiography and echocardiography), where indicated. Treatment of tachyarrhythmias in pregnancy differs very little from a non-pregnant adult, and unstable arrhythmias should follow Resuscitation Council UK guidelines. Pregnant women with pathological arrhythmias need to be cared for under a multidisciplinary team, including obstetricians, obstetric anaesthetists, specialist midwives, cardiologists and obstetric physicians.
