Sudden cardiac death and its histopathological findings in autopsy cases in Jharkhand.

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
Introduction: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is defined as an abrupt and unexpected death caused by cardiovascular disease, regardless of whether the individual has a history of heart disease. The conditions included in this classification are myocardial infarction (MI), coronary atherosclerosis, myocardial hypertrophy, myocarditis, aortic valve dysfunction, and ruptured aortic aneurysm. The objective of this study was to analyze and examine different cardiac illnesses and histopathological abnormalities of the heart that occur in SCDs, based on a 4-year autopsy experience in Jharkhand. Methods: A retrospective observational study spanning 4 years was undertaken on autopsy specimens of whole hearts submitted for histological analysis in the Department of Pathology, RIMS, from April 2020 to March 2024. We evaluated several histological alterations in the heart of all the received autopsy specimens. Results: A wide variety of histological abnormalities has been observed, with atherosclerosis being the most prevalent. Additional pathological conditions observed were myocardial infarction (MI), hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, metastasis, myocarditis, pericarditis, and tuberculosis of the heart. Conclusion: Atherosclerosis is the primary etiology of SCD and predominantly affects middle-aged adult males in the Jharkhand population. Comprehending the histopathological results is crucial for identifying the cause of death, adhering to the minimum autopsy requirements for SCD, and enhancing treatment and preventive efforts to decrease SCD mortality.
