Sudden Death in the Young: A Nationwide Prospective Epidemiological Study of Sudden Death in Young People Aged 1-35 Years in the Mediterranean Island of Cyprus.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology, 2025. 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThis study aimed to explore the etiology, incidence, and epidemiological characteristics of sudden death (SD) cases among individuals aged 1-35 years, through a systemic evaluation of all SDs in Cyprus over a 11-year period. METHODS AND
resultsFrom 2005 to 2015, all cases of SDs involving individuals aged 1-35 years, who were citizens or permanent residents of the Republic of Cyprus, were recorded and studied. The incidence of SD in young individuals in Cyprus was 2.16 cases per 100 000 people annually. Out of the 74 recorded cases, cardiac causes were identified in 43.24% (n = 32) of SD cases, with 28.38% (n = 21) attributed to noncardiac factors. Cardiac causes predominated in males (n = 25/50, 50.00%), while noncardiac causes were more prevalent in females (n = 12/24, 50.00%). Among all SD cases, cardiomyopathies, particularly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, accounted for 24.32% (n = 18) cases, followed by pulmonary embolism (n = 8, 10.81%) and viral myocarditis (n = 7, 9.46%) as the second and third leading causes, respectively. Other causes of SDs were myocardial infarction (n = 5, 6.76%), and hemorrhagic stroke (n = 4, 5.41%). Aortic aneurysm rupture, adrenal hemorrhage, and pulmonary aspiration each constituted 4.05% (n = 3) of SD cases. The cause of death remained indeterminate in 28.38% (n = 21) of SD cases.
conclusionsSD in the young is predominantly of cardiac origin, although a significant proportion of cases is also attributed to noncardiac causes. Despite thorough post-mortem examinations, including microscopic pathology, histological, and immune-histological analyses, a considerable number of SD cases remain unclear.
