Prevalence of Mitral Annulus Disjunction and Mitral Valve Prolapse in Patients With Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is diagnosed in patients with ventricular fibrillation of which the origin is not identified after extensive evaluations. Recent studies suggest an association between mitral annulus disjunction (MAD), mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and ventricular arrhythmias. The prevalence of MAD and MVP in patients with IVF in this regard is not well established. We aimed to explore the prevalence of MAD and MVP in a consecutive cohort of patients with IVF compared with matched controls. Methods and Results In this retrospective, multicenter cohort study, cardiac magnetic resonance images from patients with IVF (ie, negative for ischemia, cardiomyopathy, and channelopathies) and age- and sex-matched control subjects were analyzed for the presence of MAD (≥2 mm) and MVP (>2 mm). In total, 72 patients (mean age 39±14 years, 42% women) and 72 control subjects (mean age 41±11 years, 42% women) were included. MAD in the inferolateral wall was more prevalent in patients with IVF versus healthy controls (7 [11%] versus 1 [1%],
