Electrocardiographic Characteristics, Identification, and Management of Frequent Premature Ventricular Contractions.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are frequently encountered in clinical practice. The association of PVCs with adverse cardiovascular outcomes is well established in the context of structural heart disease, yet not so much in the absence of structural heart disease. However, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) seems to contribute prognostically in the latter subgroup. PVC-induced myocardial dysfunction refers to the impairment of ventricular function due to PVCs and is mostly associated with a PVC burden > 10%. Surface 12-lead ECG has long been used to localize the anatomic site of origin and multiple algorithms have been developed to differentiate between right ventricular and left ventricular outflow tract (RVOT and LVOT, respectively) origin. Novel algorithms include alternative ECG lead configurations and, lately, sophisticated artificial intelligence methods have been utilized to determine the origins of outflow tract arrhythmias. The decision to therapeutically address PVCs should be made upon the presence of symptoms or the development of PVC-induced myocardial dysfunction. Therapeutic modalities include pharmacological therapy (I-C antiarrhythmic drugs and beta blockers), as well as catheter ablation, which has demonstrated superior efficacy and safety.
