Factors associated with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks in patients suffering from non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2022. 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
backgroundAlthough intra-cardiac shocks are a lifesaving approach in patients with systolic heart failure (HF), the probable effective factors related to shock occurrence are less frequently recognized. We designed this study to assess the factors associated with inappropriate or appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM).
methodsNinety-nine patients with NICM who implanted ICD were enrolled from March 2018 to September 2019 and followed up with a three-month interval for up to one year. Shock therapy was defined as either appropriate or inappropriate shock. The odds ratio (OR) of inappropriate shock occurrence was calculated with crude and different adjusted models.
resultsThe mean age of the population at baseline was 51.9 ± 15.4 years (men: 71%). Baseline data revealed that patients with inappropriate shocks had higher heart rates (HR), worse New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, and anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) as well as higher percentages of amiodarone usage compared to groups with appropriate or no shock [HR: 96.8 ± 27.8 vs. 79.8 ± 12.1 vs. 76.2 ± 17.6 beats per minute (bpm), P = 0.014; NYHA class IV: 85.7% vs. 74.1% vs. 63.4%, P = 0.041; ATP: 37.5% vs. 29% vs. 5%, P = 0.010; amiodarone usage: 37.5% vs. 25.8% vs. 5%, P = 0.23, respectively]. Further multiple-adjusted OR did not reveal any significant independent association between the aforementioned variables and inappropriate shock incidence.
conclusionThis study indicates no significant independent predisposing factor in the occurrence of inappropriate shocks among patients with NICM. Other studies are required in this regard.
