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

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a rare and devastating event in children and remains a leading cause of death in young athletes. Channelopathies and cardiomyopathies, in particular long QT syndrome (LQTS), catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) are associated with exercise-related SCD. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are often placed for secondary prevention for athletes with cardiomyopathy or channelopathy. There remains concern regarding the safety of return to participation with an ICD in place. Guidelines have historically recommended that patients with inherited heart rhythm disorders be restricted from competitive sports participation. Increasing evidence suggests a lower risk of exercise-related cardiac events in young athletes with inherited heart rhythm disorders. In this review, we highlight current knowledge, evolving guidelines, and present a multidisciplinary approach involving shared decision-making and appropriate planning for safe sports participation of children with inherited heart rhythm disorders.
