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
backgroundPatients with arrhythmogenic mitral valve prolapse syndrome are at increased risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, but studies have been limited by small sample sizes. We sought to assemble an international arrhythmogenic mitral valve prolapse syndrome registry to delineate the clinical, imaging, and treatment characteristics of patients with arrhythmogenic mitral valve prolapse syndrome who survived sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) or had sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation.
methodsIn this descriptive registry, we characterized patients with arrhythmogenic mitral valve prolapse syndrome who survived SCA, sustained VT, or ventricular fibrillation. Deidentified data were abstracted locally and combined centrally.
resultsWe included 148 patients who had SCA or VT/ventricular fibrillation. Patients had a mean age of 43.7±15.4 years; 68% were women, 73% had bileaflet prolapse, 65% had mitral annular disjunction, 67% had nonsustained VT, and 59% had inferolateral T-wave inversions. Syncope (n=54, 48%) and anterolateral T-wave inversion (n=26, 22%) were relatively common. Catheter ablation was performed in 50 (35%) patients for premature ventricular complexes and in 18 (17.7%) patients for VT. Sites of origin for arrhythmias were commonly in the papillary muscles, fascicles, mitral annulus, and inferior/inferolateral left ventricle.
conclusionsIn this international descriptive registry of patients with arrhythmogenic mitral valve prolapse syndrome and SCA, patients were young, women, and had bileaflet mitral valve prolapse, mitral annular disjunction, inferolateral T-wave inversions, and nonsustained VT. A history of syncope and anterolateral T-wave inversions was relatively common in patients who survived SCA or sustained VT/ventricular fibrillation.
