Preventing and Treating Torsades de Pointes in the Mother, Fetus and Newborn in the Highest Risk Pregnancies with Inherited Arrhythmia Syndromes.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The number of women of childbearing age who have been diagnosed in childhood with ion channelopathy and effectively treated using beta blockers, cardiac sympathectomy, and life-saving cardiac pacemakers/defibrillators is increasing. Since many of these diseases are inherited as autosomal dominant, offspring have about a 50% risk of having the disease, though many will be only mildly impacted during fetal life. However, highly complex delivery room preparation is increasingly needed in pregnancies with inherited arrhythmia syndromes (IASs). However, specific Doppler techniques show meanwhile a better understanding of fetal electrophysiology. The advent of fetal magnetocardiography (FMCG) now allows the detection of fetal Torsades de Pointes (TdP) ventricular tachycardia and other LQT-associated arrhythmias (QTc prolongation, functional second AV block, T-wave alternans, sinus bradycardia, late-coupled ventricular ectopy and monomorphic VT) in susceptible fetuses during the second and third trimester. These types of arrhythmias can be due to either de novo or familial Long QT Syndrome (LQTS), Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT), or other IAS. It is imperative that the multiple specialists involved in the antenatal, peripartum, and neonatal care of these women and their fetuses/infants have the optimal knowledge, training and equipment in order to care for these highly specialized pregnancies and deliveries. In this review, we outline the steps to recognize symptomatic LQTS in either the mother, fetus or both, along with suggestions for evaluation and management of the pregnancy, delivery, or post-partum period impacted by LQTS.
