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

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a tachyarrhythmia characterized by a heart rate above 120 beats per minute (BPM). Patients with SVT exhibit the following symptoms: palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, hemodynamic instability, or possibly asymptomatic. The increase in cardiac output and the increase in resting heart rate during pregnancy predispose pregnant women to SVT. The management of SVT in pregnancy, although remarkably similar, varies slightly based on the trimester of pregnancy. Atenolol and verapamil are effective methods of treating SVT, which can be used during the second and third trimesters. Both medications are contraindicated in the first trimester. At the same time, intravenous adenosine can be used in all three trimesters, including labor. Electrical cardioversion is an effective treatment method for hemodynamically unstable or drug-refractory patients, which has proven to be safe in all three trimesters, including labor but can result in pre-term labor in the third trimester. Non-fluoroscopic ablation proved to be the only treatment method that definitively resolved SVT without recurrence.
