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

Mitral annular disjunction is related to increased arrhythmogenic risk; in a certain percentage of cases, mitral annular disjunction is associated with tricuspid annular disjunction. While the prognostic implications of mitral annular disjunction have been well established, there is still little data to define this aspect regarding the tricuspid annular disjunction. We present a case of a patient admitted for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias that occurred during endurance sporting activity, who was found to have isolated tricuspid annular disjunction, not associated with mitral annular disjunction. Based on several factors, including the morphology and axis of QRS of the ventricular arrhythmic activity, and its behavior, including the response to antiarrhythmic treatment, and in keeping with the finding of edema and late gadolinium enhancement at the basal segment of the right ventricle free wall on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, a direct relation between tricuspid annular disjunction and ventricular arrhythmias was highly conceivable. Control after three months showed almost complete remission of the previously described and persistence of LGE at the level of the basal segment of the free wall of the right ventricle, so giving strength to the hypothesis of an event related to increased acute RV free wall stress, secondary to high-intensity physical activity, established on a framework of chronic wall stress, as represented by LGE, similarly to what happens for mitral valve prolapse. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a legitimately conceivable direct relation between tricuspid annular disjunction and ventricular arrhythmias.
