Circadian and Seasonal Pattern of Arrhythmic Events in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy Patients.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited cardiac disease associated with an increased risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) with circadian and seasonal variation in ARVC. One hundred two ARVC patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) were enrolled in the study. Arrhythmic events included (a) any initial ventricular tachycardia (VT) or fibrillation (VF) prompting ICD implantation, (b) any VT or non-sustained VT (NSVT) recorded by the ICD, and (c) appropriate ICD shocks/therapy. Differences in the annual incidence of events across seasons (winter, spring, summer, autumn) and period of the day (night, morning, afternoon, evening) were assessed both for all cardiac events and major arrhythmic events. In total, 67 events prior to implantation and 263 ICD events were recorded. These included 135 major (58 ICD therapies, 57 self-terminating VT, 20 sustained VT) and 148 minor (NSVT) events. A significant increase in the frequency of events was observed in the afternoon versus in the nights and mornings (
