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

Approximately 300,000 people in the United States are estimated to have Chagas' disease, with cardiac manifestations including arrhythmias occurring in 20%-30% of patients. We report a patient diagnosed with Chagas' cardiomyopathy after presenting in ventricular tachycardia. This patient was asymptomatic before her presentation with recurrent episodes of ventricular tachycardia, which motivated us to screen her since she was an immigrant from an endemic Chagas region. This manuscript highlights some of the characteristic cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electrophysiology findings present in patients with Chagas' cardiomyopathy. We also detail the management of patients with Chagas' cardiomyopathy who have suffered from ventricular tachycardia.
