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

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are a common finding in clinical practice, requiring a full diagnostic work-up in order to exclude an underlying cardiomyopathy. Still, in a substantial proportion of patients, these investigations do not identify any substrate, and the PVCs are labelled as idiopathic. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has proven in the last decades as the method of choice for the exploration of patients with cardiomyopathies, since it can identify subtle changes in the myocardial tissue and help with risk stratification. In patients with idiopathic PVCs and a high PVC burden, several studies report the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at CMR, which can offer additional diagnostic and prognostic benefits, as well as assistance in catheter ablation procedures, as the risk for adverse cardiac and risk for arrhythmic events events is higher compared to patients without scar. This paper focuses on the impact of the presence of LGE in patients with idiopathic PVCs, reviewing all the relevant studies published so far, including randomized controlled clinical trials, prospective or retrospective cohort studies, case series and case reports as well as systematic reviews.
