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

backgroundVentricular tachycardia (VT) is a malignant ventricular arrhythmia that requires emergent evaluation and treatment. Ischemic heart disease is the most common cause, but its etiology can involve many other possibilities. CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old man without structural heart disease presented with VT originating from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), which turned into electrical storm despite antiarrhythmics. A computed tomography scan revealed bilateral acute pulmonary embolism (PE), and he showed favorable progress after its treatment, without further arrhythmias. DISCUSSION: This case highlights the importance of considering PE in the differential diagnosis of VT. Early detection and specific treatment are crucial for improving prognosis of PE, in addition to achieving effective control of the tachycardia by treating its trigger.
