Evaluation of index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundVarious electrocardiographic (ECG) changes occur after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Prolonged QT and corrected QT (QTc) intervals are notable changes. QT, QTc, T peak-to-end T(p-e) intervals, and Tp-e/QTc ratio are used as ventricular arrhythmia indices. In recent publications, the cardiac electrophysiological balance index (ICEB), which provides more information than other ECG parameters (QT, QTc, etc.), is recommended in predicting the risk of ventricular arrhythmia. This study aims to assess ICEB in aneurysmal SAH patients.
methodsThe study included 50 patients diagnosed with aneurysmal SAH and 50 patients diagnosed with hypertension without end-organ damage as the control group. All patients' Fisher scores and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores were recorded. Both groups were given 12-lead ECGs. QT, QTc, Tp-e intervals, QRS duration, ICEB (QT/QRS), ICEBc (QTc/QRS), and T(p-e)/QTc values were calculated and analyzed between groups.
resultsCompared to the control group; QT (426,64 ± 14,62 vs. 348,84 ± 12,24 ms, p < 0,001), QTc (456,24 ± 28,84 vs. 392,48 ± 14,36 ms, p < 0,001), Tp-e (84,32 ± 3,46 vs. 70,12 ± 3,12, p < 0,001), Tp-e/QTc (0,185 ± 0,08 vs. 0,178 ± 0,02, p < 0,001), ICEB (4,53 ± 0,78 vs. 3,74 ± 0,28, p < 0,001) and ICEBc (4,86 ± 0,86 vs. 4,21 ± 0,24, p < 0,001) were significantly higher in patients with aneurysmal SAH. QT, QTc and Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QTc ratio, ICEB (QT/QRS) and ICEBc (QTc/QRS) were positively correlated with the Fisher score and were negatively correlated with the GCS. According to linear regression analyses, the ICEBc (QTc/QRS) found to be independently associated with the Fisher score.
conclusionThe values of the ICEB and ICEBc were significantly increased in patients with aneurysmal SAH. The severity of SAH was positively correlated with the ICEB and ICEBc. The ICEBc (QTc/QRS) independently associated with the Fisher score. This may that SAH suggest may predispose to malignant ventricular arrhythmias.
