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 physiological changes during pregnancy predispose a woman for the development of new-onset or recurrent arrhythmia. Supraventricular arrhythmia is the most common form of arrhythmia during pregnancy and, although often benign in nature, can be concerning. We describe three complex cases of supraventricular arrhythmia during pregnancy and review the currently available literature on the subject. In pregnancies complicated by arrhythmia, a plan for follow-up and both maternal and fetal monitoring during pregnancy, delivery and post partum should be made in a multidisciplinary team. Diagnostic modalities should be used as in non-pregnant women if there is an indication. All antiarrhythmic drugs cross the placenta, but when necessary, medical treatment should be used with consideration to the fetus and the mother's altered pharmacodynamics and kinetics. Electrical cardioversion is safe during pregnancy, and electrophysiological study and catheter ablation can be performed in selected patients, preferably with zero-fluoroscopy technique. Sometimes, delivering the fetus (if viable) is the best therapeutic option. In this review, we provide a framework for the workup and clinical management of supraventricular arrhythmias in pregnant women, including cardiac, obstetric and neonatal perspectives.
