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

The management of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and large anterior ventricular aneurysm presenting with ventricular tachycardia is not well-described. We report the case of 45-year-old male who presented with recurrent episodes of prolonged polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and previously failed medical management and endocardial and epicardial transcatheter ablation. We performed a Dor procedure to exclude the left ventricular aneurysm in conjunction with cryoablation to terminate his ventricular tachycardia. This surgical approach was found to be successful with conversion of the patient into normal sinus rhythm and restoration of the patient's left ventricular morphology and function. We also propose a methodology for the surgical management of patients with left ventricular aneurysm and intractable ventricular tachycardia focused on a discussion with the patient and the cardiac team about the options for treatment, including surgery or continuing pharmacological and electrical cardioversion therapy, choosing the surgical technique that would exclude the most diseased and akinetic myocardial segment, and being more liberal with the use of cryoablation.
