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

Arrhythmogenic dysplasia of the right ventricule (ARVC), actually known as arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a rare genetic condition caused by the replacement of the normal right ventricular myocardium with fibrofatty tissue. However, 2 other phenotypes affecting the left ventricle were recently discovered. The disease usually appears in patients ranging from 30 to 50 years old; in fact, about 80% of cases occur in young patients <40 years of age. Therefore, it is usually considered in young adults or athletes presenting with a history of syncope, ventricular arrhythmias (VA), and/or sudden cardiac death (SCD). We report an atypical case of a 70-year-old male who was admitted to the hospital for spontaneous ventricular tachycardia (VT) that was reduced by an immediate electric shock, and the paraclinical investigations strongly supported the presence of an almost complete form of the disease with electric signs in favor of possible left ventricular (LV) damage, which makes the case even more interesting.
