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

Patients suffering from sleep-related bradyarrhythmias are often underdiagnosed, due to the presence of asymptomatic cases. Although the consequence of increased nocturnal parasympathetic nerve activities and decreased sympathetic nerve activity during sleep are associated with nocturnal bradyarrhythmias, the detailed mechanisms are still unknown. It is well known that ganglionated plexi (GP) ablation is an effective therapeutic approach to modify autonomic nerve functions. Here, we report a case of successful treatment for the vagally mediated long ventricular pauses during sleep using autonomic modulation through GP ablation. Learning objective: Sleep-related bradyarrhythmias unrelated to sleep apnea or hypopnea are rare sleep disorders. Treatment of this disorder has not been established. High-frequency stimulation guided ganglionated plexi ablation could be an effective therapeutic approach to achieve long-term vagal attenuation to prevent vagally induced nocturnal bradyarrhythmias.
