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

backgroundIdentify idiopathic ventricular tachycardia in patients with ventricular premature beats was required to have effectively treatment. HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of Tp-Te interval, Tp-Te/QT ratio, and QRS-T angle of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia in patients with idiopathic ventricular premature beats.

methodsOne hundred and seventy-eight patients who had undergone premature ventricular complex/ventricular tachycardia (PVC/VT) ablation between January 1, 2020 and August 30, 2022 constituted our study population as ventricular arrhythmia group. Seventy-five healthy people were selected as control group. Patients with no episode of VT were classified as PVC group, while with any episode of VT that has the same morphology with PVC were classified as PVC with VT group. Patients in PVC with VT group were divided into two groups: nonsustained VT group (duration of any episode of VT below 30 s) and sustained VT group (duration of any episode of VT over 30 s). Tp-Te interval, Tp-Te/QT ratio and QRS-T angle were compared in groups.

resultsTp-Te interval, Tp-Te/QT ratio and patients with increased QRS-T angle in PVC with VT group were higher or more than those in PVC group (p < .001). The value of combined diagnosis of these indexes was higher. Tp-Te interval was longer in the sustained VT group compared to the nonsustained VT group (p = .009).

conclusionTp-Te interval, Tp-Te/QT ratio, and QRS-T angle may have a predictive value of presence of idiopathic VT in patients with premature beats and the combined prediction of these indexes is more valuable. Tp-Te interval maybe helpful for prediction of sustained idiopathic VT.
