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
backgroundThe incidence of premature ventricular contraction (PVC) can be as high as 70% to 75% in general population. Even in the absence of any underlying heart disease, isolated ventricular premature contractions (IPVCs) can still lead to cardiac structural remodeling and impaired heart function during long-term follow-up. Currently, there is a lack of predictive models to assess the risk of idiopathic PVCs associated with left ventricular dysfunction, leading to over or under treatment for IPVC.
objectiveTo develop an electrocardiographic prediction model of IPVC with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
methodsA retrospective analysis of 419 patients first diagnosed with idiopathic outflow tract PVC from January 2020 to December 2023 was performed. The cohort was randomly divided into training and validation sets in a 7:3 ratio. A nomogram predictive model was constructed based on multifactorial logistic regression analysis. Model discrimination was assessed using ROC curve and AUC, while calibration was evaluated with the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. Decision curve analysis (DCA) assessed clinical applicability, and net reclassification improvement (NRI) along with integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) indices were calculated to assess additional predictive value compared with traditional PVC burden.
resultsNo significant differences in baseline data were observed between the training and validation sets (P > 0.05). The Nomogram prediction model involving PVC burden, PVC bigeminy, and SDNN ≤ 80 ms. The model showed good discrimination both in the training and validation set, with AUC of 0.912 (95% CI 0.872-0.951) and 0.894 (95% CI: 0.803-0.985), respectively. Calibration curve indicated good agreement between predicted probability and actual incidence in both datasets with Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness-of-fit (GOF) test of χ
conclusionThe ECG prediction model for IPVC with decreased LVEF developed in this study is highly effective and easy to implement. Due to the accessible nature of Holter data, this model provides valuable insights for assessing IPVC prior to clinical decision-making regarding treatment.
