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

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the predominant cause of SCD in older individuals, while inherited cardiomyopathies and channelopathies are more common in younger individuals under the age of 35 years. Genetic disorders associated with SCD have traditionally been perceived as monogenic disorders. However, increasing evidence suggests that many of these disorders have complex genetic architecture with contributions from multiple genetic variants, known as polygenic inheritance, along with environmental factors. Improved understanding of genetic contributions and variants in SCD may help elucidate the cause of SCD, enable risk stratification, and identify novel disease mechanisms to guide preventative and therapeutic strategies in SCD. This review provides an overview of the genetic risk factors and clinical implications for the most common cardiac disorders related to SCD in both old and young individuals: specifically CAD, as well as the inherited cardiomyopathies and channelopathies, respectively.
