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

Right ventricular outflow tract ventricular tachycardia (RVOT VT) is a well-recognised subtype of idiopathic ventricular tachyarrhythmia and often described in young healthy individuals. This arrhythmia typically occurs in patients with a structurally normal heart, and in this context is generally considered benign. In this case we present a rare association between RVOT VT and a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in a patient known to have a restrictive ventricular septal defect. Prompt surgical intervention was necessary to prevent potentially life threatening consequences. The diagnostic and surgical evaluation learnt from this case would be useful to remind clinicians to explore rarer causes of RVOT VT especially when patients have underlying congenital heart disease. This case also highlights the importance of utilizing multi-modality imaging for the anatomical assessment of this pathology, which aids definitive management.
