Associated factors with the occurrence of inappropriate shocks among admitted patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIt has been previously shown that Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) shocks are associated with subsequent increased mortality risk in patients with heart failure. We designed this study to assess the factors related to ICD shocks in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM).
methodEighty consecutive patients with ICM underwent primary or secondary preventive ICD implantation, and experienced shocks were recruited in this cross-sectional study between March 2018 to March 2019. Patients were grouped based on the presence of appropriate or inappropriate ICD therapy. Data on demographic, clinical, laboratory and medications of eligible patients were assessed to identify ICD shocks related factors with univariate and multiple adjusted models.
resultsThe mean age of the total population was 65.4 ± 9.8 years (males: 86.3%). Eleven patients (13.7%) experienced inappropriate shocks. The presence of sinus tachycardia was (OR: 7.38 : 1.78-30.56, P= 0.006), which was associated with higher likelihood of inappropriate shock occurrence. Moreover, patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) had significantly elevated odds of inappropriate shock frequency (OR: 4.32: 1.15-16.13, P= 0.02).
conclusionOur findings indicate that the presence of sinus tachycardia and prior AF could significantly increase the likelihood of inappropriate shock frequency among patients with ICM using ICDs. Further large-scale studies are required to prove our outcomes.
