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

objectiveAlthough electrophysiological study (EPS) is one of the most useful diagnostic approaches to detect the cardiac origin of palpitations, there is no clear indication for EPS in patients with palpitation in the absence of documented supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). In this study, we aimed to create a new SVT score model to detect the requirement of EPS in patients with palpitation without documented tachycardia.

methodsA total of 154 patients with palpitation were included in this study. To create the SVT score, we considered four main criteria with their subunits. They were severity, frequency, duration, and termination of the symptoms. EPS was performed on all the patients after their scoring assessment.

resultsMedian SVT score of induced tachycardia and non-induced patients was determined as 10 and 6 points, respectively; and it was found to be statistically significant; p<0.001. The cut-off value for inducibility was found to be 7.5 points through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, (94.9% sensitivity, 92.1% specificity), and the area under the curve was determined to be 97.2 (94.8-99.5, p<0.001).

conclusionAccording to our new SVT score model, ≥8 points strongly correlates with the inducibility of SVT during EPS.
