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
backgroundSupraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is one of the most common non-benign arrhythmias in neonates, potentially leading to cardiac decompensation. This study investigated the early risk factors of acute heart failure (AHF) secondary to SVT in neonates, and explored their value in guiding the selection of effective anti-arrhythmic treatment.
methodsA total of 43 newborns diagnosed with and treated for SVT between January 2017 and December 2022 were analyzed. According to the presence of AHF after restoring sinus rhythm in newborns with SVT, they were divided into SVT with AHF group and SVT without AHF group. Clinical data and anti-arrhythmic therapies were analyzed. Risk factors of AHF secondary to SVT in neonates were determined using logistic regression. The cut-off value for predictors of AHF secondary to SVT and demanding of a second-line anti-arrhythmic treatment was determined through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
resultsTime to initial control of tachycardia > 24 h, hyperkalemia, anemia, and plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were identified as risk factors of AHF secondary to SVT in neonates. BNP exhibited AUC of 0.80 in predicting AHF, and BNP > 2460.5pg/ml (OR 2.28, 95% CI 1.27 ~ 45.39, P = 0.03) was an independent predictor, yielding sensitivity of 70.6% and specificity of 84.6%. Neonates with BNP > 2460.5pg/ml (37.5% versus 7.4%, P = 0.04) had a higher demand for a second line anti-arrhythmic treatment to terminate SVT, with sensitivity and specificity for BNP in predicting at 75.0%, 71.4%, respectively.
conclusionsBNP could be used to predict an incident of AHF secondary to SVT and a demand of second-line anti-arrhythmic treatment to promptly terminate SVT and prevent decompensation in neonates.
