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

Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare disorder and the true prevalence is largely unknown. Its clinical presentation is highly variable from being asymptomatic to the presence of heart failure, thromboembolic events, arrhythmias, and even risk of sudden cardiac death. A 37-year-old woman presented with frequent and symptomatic premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and reduced left ventricular systolic function due to LVNC cardiomyopathy. The PVCs were refractory to medical therapy and the patient underwent successful ablation of the left ventricular summit PVCs. There was no recurrence of the PVCs at 6 months follow-up. This case report adds to the growing evidence of the efficacy and safety of performing radiofrequency ablation of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) refractory to medical therapy in patients with LVNC. The different mechanisms of the VAs and therapeutic options are also reviewed.
