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

backgroundArrhythmias are not always easy to capture because they are often paroxysmal or asymptomatic.

methodsUsing the CHA2DS2-VASc score for arrhythmia risk assessment, a 14-day electrocardiography monitor patch was used to evaluate patients with no documented history of arrhythmia.

resultsNinety-three patients (mean age 59.8 ± 12.0 years, 46.2% female) received 14-day electrocardiography telemonitoring, and 14 patients (15%) were diagnosed with arrhythmias during a follow-up of 1004.4 person-days (mean recorded days 10.8 ± 4.1). The patients who were detected to have arrhythmias were older and had a higher prevalence of heart failure and chronic kidney disease. The result showed that arrhythmias were more likely to develop during a 14-day monitoring period in the patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of ≥ 3 or ≥ 4. Atrioventricular block was more likely to be detected in the patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of ≥ 3 or ≥ 4 during 7-day or 14-day monitoring periods. Ventricular tachycardia was also more likely to be detected in the patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of ≥ 4 or ≥ 5 during a 14-day monitoring period. When evaluating the risk of arrhythmia, a CHA2DS2-VASc score of ≥ 3 or ≥ 4 was associated with a higher risk of any arrhythmias during a 14-day monitoring period, while a CHA2DS2-VASc score of ≥ 4 was associated with a higher risk of any arrhythmias during a 7-day monitoring period.

conclusionsThe results may suggest that a 14-day monitoring period is more favorable to detect arrhythmias. Atrioventricular block and ventricular tachycardia were more likely to develop in the patients with a higher CHA2DS2-VASc score.
