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

Introduction: The right ventricle can be susceptible to pathologic alterations with exercise. This can cause changes to the ECG. Our aim was to identify the electrocardiographic phenotype of exercise induced (ExI) arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). Methods: A retrospective analysis of ECGs at rest, peak exercise and 1 min of recovery in four groups of individuals was performed: Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy with genetic confirmation (Gen-ACM; Results: At rest, complete RBBB was exclusively found in Gen-ACM (6%) and ExI-ACM (13%). No epsilon waves were identified. TWI beyond V2 was uniquely present in Gen-ACM (73%) and ExI-ACM (38%; Conclusion: ExI-ACM shares important ECG-features with Gen-ACM, suggesting a similar underlying pathogenesis regardless of the presence or absence of desmosomal mutations.
