Supplementary case reports to the current German Cardiac Society (DGK) position paper on electrical cardioversion : Cardioversion-resistant atrial fibrillation in obese patients: a therapeutic dead-end? Synchronized cardioversion-induced ventricular fibrillation: an uncommon complication.

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
Electrical cardioversion represents a cornerstone of rhythm control strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, in patients with obesity and specific anatomical variations, e.g. post heart transplantation, the standard flow of this procedure may need to be altered. This includes employing technical deviations of shock delivery and paying special attention to potential, unexpected complications. In light of the current position paper of the German Cardiac Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kardiologie, DGK) on electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation, two cases with unconventional course of elective electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation are presented: dual direct current cardioversion in severe obesity and the occurrence of ventricular fibrillation in the presence of heterotopic heart transplant.
