Approach to Wide Complex Tachycardia in Paediatric Patients.
Review in CJC pediatric and congenital heart disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Wide complex tachycardia (WCT) is an infrequently encountered condition in paediatric patients and may be due to a variety of causes including supraventricular tachycardia with aberrant conduction, ventricular activation via an accessory pathway, ventricular pacing, or ventricular tachycardia. Immediate tachycardia termination is required in haemodynamically unstable patients. After stabilization or in those with haemodynamically tolerated WCT, a careful review of electrocardiographic tracings and diagnostic manoeuvres are essential to help elucidate the cause. Subacute and chronic management for WCT will depend on the underlying cause as well as features of the patient and the tachycardia presentation. This article will review the epidemiology, potential causes, and management of WCT in children. A detailed review of the pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, and diagnostic and treatment options is provided to enable the reader to develop a practical approach to managing this condition in young patients.
