Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator for Primary Prevention in Asia.
Review in JACC. Asia, 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
In a contemporary setting, where the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is low, heart failure management is improved, and technology is advanced, identifying the patients who would benefit the most from an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) treatment for primary prevention remains a challenge. The prevalence of SCD is lower in Asia when compared with the United States/Europe (35-45 per 100,000 person-years vs 55-100 per 100,000 person-years, respectively). Nevertheless, this should not explain the enormous gap in ICD's utilization among eligible candidates (∼12% in Asia vs ∼45% in the United States/Europe). The disparity between Asia and Western countries, together with significant variation among the Asian population and the previously mentioned challenges, requires an individualized approach and specific regional recommendation, especially in countries with limited resources where ICDs are being extremely underutilized This review focuses on the current knowledge of ICD therapy for SCD prevention and how to improve patient and device selection.
