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

Short-coupled idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is a subtype of IVF in which episodes of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation are initiated by short-coupled premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). Our understanding of the pathophysiology is evolving, with evidence suggesting that these malignant PVCs originate from the Purkinje system. In most cases, the genetic underpinning has not been identified. Whereas the implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator is uncontroversial, the choice of pharmacological treatment is the subject of discussion. In this review, we summarize the available knowledge on pharmacological therapy in short-coupled IVF and provide our recommendations for management of patients with this syndrome.
