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

backgroundThere has been growing interest in the association between gastriesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and cardiac arrhythmias. CASE SUMMARY: A 48-year-old man presented with palpitations predominantly occurring after alcohol intake or meals. Wearable electrocardiogram patch monitoring revealed that his frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) were exclusively observed after alcohol intake or during postprandial periods. The PVCs could effectively be controlled with therapy for GERD. Another 40-year-old woman whose symptomatic PVCs were initially controlled with flecainide reported that her palpitations were aggravated when lying down. Flecainide was switched to a potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB), and the PVCs were better controlled with PCAB than with flecainide (0.01% vs 2.8% on flecainide). DISCUSSION: PVCs may be triggered by GERD, and they can be effectively controlled by the appropriate treatment of the underlying GERD. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: When performing continuous electrocardiographic monitoring for frequent PVCs, it is important not only to assess their frequency but also to carefully analyze the timing of their occurrence.
