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

Background: The leading cause of death in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy is sudden cardiac death caused by ventricular arrhythmias. Accurate determination of arrhythmic risk in these patients is vital to allow clinicians to take appropriate preventive measures. Objective: To review and summarize the literature on electrocardiographic imaging (ECGi) metrics that could be used to predict arrhythmic risk in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed to retrieve research articles on non-invasive electrocardiographic mapping techniques. Inclusion criteria of the studies required the involvement of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy or ischemic heart disease. Results: A total of 17 papers were identified, five of which specifically utilized ECGi to acquire metrics associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA). ECGi metrics, including activation time, repolarization time, activation-recovery interval, and voltage amplitude, were distinguishable between patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, patients with a history of VA, and healthy controls. Conclusion: ECGi allows non-invasive measurement of metrics which are associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. ECGi may be a useful tool for risk assessment in these patients. Prospective studies are warranted for further validation and prediction of clinical endpoints.
