Electrical storm in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Cardiac magnetic resonance and sudden cardiac death risk stratification: a case report.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Risk stratification for sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a key factor in the management of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has a unique role in the evaluation of HCM and offers superior diagnostic and prognostic information to assess the indication for a prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Case summary: A 39-year-old patient with non-obstructive HCM with a low ESC HCM Risk-SCD score underwent a CMR revealing a left ventricular apical aneurysm and extensive late gadolinium enhancement; a prophylactic ICD was thus implanted. A month later, the patient was admitted in refractory electrical storm with over 50 appropriate ICD shocks due to sustained ventricular tachycardia. Despite anti-arrhythmic therapy and mechanical ventilation, the evolution was unfavourable with haemodynamic instability; veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was implanted. The patient was submitted to CMR-guided epicardial VT catheter ablation with complications of LV thrombus and severe pericardial effusion. Discussion: This case details the complex risk stratification for SCD in patients with HCM, highlighting the important role of CMR in the integrated approach to risk stratification.
