Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) and Stroke: Should We Pump the Brakes on Cardioversion?
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In the list of top 10 causes of death worldwide in 2019, stroke ranks number two, with a recent uptick in incidence involving younger adults. While common risk factors like tobacco use, hypertension, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation have been well studied, recent reports have also linked paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) with strokes. This case highlights a rare presentation of a 25-year-old female who suffered an ischemic stroke shortly after undergoing chemical cardioversion for sustained SVT. To date, there are only three documented cases reporting an ischemic event following shortly after cardioversion of SVT, all confined to the pediatric population. Currently, there is limited evidence to guide the management of these complex patients. This case presents a valuable discussion regarding the futility or efficacy of imaging prior to cardioversion of SVT as well as furthers the conversation behind the theorized mechanisms linking PSVT and strokes.
