Reduction in Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia Burden in Patients Enrolled in the RAID Trial.
Trial report in JACC. Clinical electrophysiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01215253 (Late Sodium Current Blockade in High-Risk ICD Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThe RAID (Ranolazine Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) randomized placebo-controlled trial showed that ranolazine treatment was associated with reduction in recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) requiring appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy.
objectivesThis study aimed to identify groups of patients in whom ranolazine treatment would result in the highest reduction of ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VTA) burden.
methodsAndersen-Gill analyses were performed to identify variables associated with risk for VTA burden among 1,012 patients enrolled in RAID. The primary endpoint was VTA burden defined as VTA episodes requiring appropriate treatment.
resultsMultivariate analysis identified 7 factors associated with increased VTA burden: history of VTA, age ≥65 years, New York Heart Association functional class ≥III, QRS complex (≥130 ms), low ejection fraction (<30%), atrial fibrillation (AF), and concomitant antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy. The effect of ranolazine on VTA burden was seen among patients without concomitant AAD therapy (HR [HR]: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.55-0.84; P < 0.001), whereas no effect was seen among those who are concomitantly treated with other AADs (HR: 1.33; 95% CI: 0.90-1.96; P = 0.16); P = 0.003 for interaction. In patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) ICDs, ranolazine treatment was associated with a 36% risk reduction for VTA recurrence (HR: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.47-0.86; P < 0.001), whereas among patients with ICDs without CRT no significant effect was noted (HR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.74-1.18; P = 0.57); P = 0.047 for interaction.
conclusionsIn patients with high risk for VTA, ranolazine is effective in reducing VTA burden, with significantly greater effect in CRT-treated patients, those without AF, and those not treated with concomitant AADs. In patients already on AADs or those with AF, the addition of ranolazine did not affect VTA burden. (Ranolazine Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Trial [RAID]; NCT01215253).
