The role of cardiac sympathetic denervation for ventricular arrhythmias: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
introductionThe role of the sympathetic nervous system in the initiation and continuation of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA) is well established. However, whether CSD reduces implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks and recurrent VTA is still uncertain.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was performed at Medline and Embase until March 2023. The primary outcome was the rate of ICD shocks and VTA per patient-year in our pooled analysis of all included articles. Analyses were conducted using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software.
resultsInitial search yielded 1324 scientific studies with a total of 15 studies fitting our inclusion criteria. ICD shocks at 1 year post-CSD revealed an event rate of 69.8% (95% CI, 56.4-80.4% with 50% heterogeneity) (I
conclusionCSD seems to be promising as an acceptable treatment strategy for recurrent VTA refractory to traditional pharmacological or ablation therapy.
