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

Ventricular arrhythmia (VT/VF) can complicate acute myocardial ischemia (AMI). Regional instability of repolarization during AMI contributes to the substrate for VT/VF. Beat-to-beat variability of repolarization (BVR), a measure of repolarization lability increases during AMI. We hypothesized that its surge precedes VT/VF. We studied the spatial and temporal changes in BVR in relation to VT/VF during AMI. In 24 pigs, BVR was quantified on 12-lead electrocardiogram recorded at a sampling rate of 1 kHz. AMI was induced in 16 pigs by percutaneous coronary artery occlusion (MI), whereas 8 underwent sham operation (sham). Changes in BVR were assessed at 5 min after occlusion, 5 and 1 min pre-VF in animals that developed VF, and matched time points in pigs without VF. Serum troponin and ST deviation were measured. After 1 mo, magnetic resonance imaging and VT induction by programmed electrical stimulation were performed. During AMI, BVR increased significantly in inferior-lateral leads correlating with ST deviation and troponin increase. BVR was maximal 1 min pre-VF (3.78 ± 1.36 vs. 5 min pre-VF, 1.67 ± 1.56,
