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

Inherited cardiomyopathies and arrhythmias (ICAs) are a prevalent and clinically heterogeneous group of genetic disorders that are associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death and heart failure. Making a genetic diagnosis can inform the management of patients and their at-risk relatives and, as such, molecular genetic testing is now considered an integral component of the clinical care pathway. However, ICAs are characterised by high genetic and allelic heterogeneity, incomplete / age-related penetrance, and variable expressivity. Therefore, despite our improved understanding of the genetic basis of these conditions, and significant technological advances over the past two decades, identifying and recognising the causative genotype remains challenging. As clinical genetic testing for ICAs becomes more widely available, it is increasingly important for clinical laboratories to consolidate existing knowledge and experience to inform and improve future practice. These recommendations have been compiled to help clinical laboratories navigate the challenges of ICAs and thereby facilitate best practice and consistency in genetic test provision for this group of disorders. General recommendations on internal and external quality control, referral, analysis, result interpretation, and reporting are described. Also included are appendices that provide specific information pertinent to genetic testing for hypertrophic, dilated, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathies, long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
