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

backgroundThis cohort study aimed to evaluate the potential myocardial arrhythmic substrate in people with coronary artery disease who died from sudden arrhythmic death (SAD) without acute coronary thrombosis or myocardial infarction. METHODS AND

resultsWe performed histological analysis of the left ventricular free wall obtained at autopsy from decedents with ≥1 coronary artery and ≥75% area stenosis who died suddenly from either noncardiac causes (25 men, 23 women) or SAD (25 men, 25 women), matched for age and sex. Decedents with acute coronary thrombosis, myocardial infarction, or other myocardial abnormality were excluded. Decedents with either noncardiac death or SAD had similar height, weight, and heart weight. Decedents with SAD had higher cumulative area stenosis of coronary arteries (mean, 162% versus 134%; mean difference, 29% [95% CI, 1%-56%],

conclusionsSAD in people with coronary artery disease without acute coronary thrombosis or myocardial infarction was associated with greater coronary artery plaque burden and cardiomyocyte atrophy that may have contributed to myocardial substrate for arrhythmia.
