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

Background: Premature ventricular complex (PVC) is a frequent finding in the general population. The atrial conduction time (ACT) is the period between the electrocardiographic P wave and the atrial mechanical contraction, and its prolongation indicates an atrial electromechanical delay (EMD). In our study, we compared atrial conduction parameters by echocardiographic methods between patients with frequent PVC and healthy control subjects. Methods: The study included 54 patients with PVC and 54 healthy volunteers. Atrial conduction parameters were measured with echocardiographic examination. The time difference between the p wave and the Am wave was measured in the septal, lateral, and tricuspid annulus regions. The interatrial EMD, left atrial intra-atrial delay, and the right atrial intra-atrial delay were calculated from these measurements. The groups were compared for demographic and electrocardiographic features and echocardiographic parameters. Results: Left intra-atrial EMD, right intra-atrial EMD, and interatrial EMD were significantly longer in the patient group ( Conclusions: Atrial conduction times are prolonged in patients with frequent PVC.
