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

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited arrhythmia syndrome in which asymptomatic patients tend to develop fatal arrhythmias leading to sudden cardiac death (SCD) in asymptomatic or undiagnosed cases. This review tries to shed light on pyrexia being one of the triggers to cause SCD secondary to fatal arrhythmias in patients of BrS. Pyrexia, electrolyte imbalance, alcohol intake, and drugs are common triggering factors for fatal arrhythmias in patients with BrS. Most patients are asymptomatic, while the most common form of presentation that brings the patient under medical attention is syncope or SCD. Hence, patients, especially young, who present with syncope or aborted episode of SCD with typical EKG patterns, should undergo further workup. It is essential to educate patients about the condition, possible triggers, and the importance of refraining them.
