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 individual in our case was troubled with difficult to control arrhythmia in the context of RYR2-mutation positive catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) despite medication. Recurrent implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks occurred for ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) as well as inappropriate shocks as a result of rapidly conducted atrial fibrillation (AF). Catheter ablation was effective in controlling these episodes of AF. Despite left cardiac sympathetic denervation, episodes of ventricular arrhythmia and subsequent ICD shocks persisted. Contralateral sympathetic cardiac denervation was subsequently undertaken, with histology suggesting T-cell mediated ganglionitis. 18 months on, there have been no further episodes of ventricular arrhythmia.
