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

backgroundPopulation genomic screening for desmosome variants associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) may facilitate early disease detection and protective intervention. The validated ARVC risk calculator offers a novel means to risk stratify individuals with diagnosed ARVC, but predicted risk in the context of genomic screening identification has not been explored.

methodsIndividuals harboring a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in a desmosome gene (

resultsOf 254 individuals with a clinically confirmed pathogenic/likely pathogenic desmosome variant, 113 (median age, 56 [interquartile range, 42-66]; 71% female) had cardiac imaging in follow-up and no prior sustained ventricular arrhythmia (VA). Eighty-two (73%) had no ARVC task force criteria (TFC) besides the variant (possible diagnosis), 22 (19%) had a single additional minor criterion (borderline diagnosis), and 9 (8%) met criteria for definite diagnosis. The median 5-year predicted VA risk was 3.9% (2.3%-6.6%), notably lower than that of the calculator derivation cohort (20.6%). The risk of fast VA was 1.6% (1.0%-2.9%). The predicted VA risk was higher in individuals with any nongenetic ARVC task force criteria (6.3% [2.5-13.2%]) versus those without (3.7% [2.2-5.6%];

conclusionsThe predicted 5-year risk of VA in individuals ascertained via population genomic screening for desmosome variants is low (3.9%; 1.6% for fast VA) but may vary by affected gene and ARVC task force criteria burden.
