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

Fetal echocardiography plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of fetal arrhythmias, allowing evaluation of the electrophysiological mechanism and guiding appropriate medical therapy. Herein, we describe our ten-year experience as a tertiary referral center in Southern Italy in the diagnosis and management of fetal sustained supraventricular tachycardia. Thirty-two consecutive fetuses were included: 16 fetuses with atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, 7 fetuses with ectopic atrial tachycardia, 8 fetuses with atrial flutter, and 1 fetus with permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia. Transplacental therapy guided by echocardiographic diagnosis was highly effective in achieving complete rhythm control (74%) or partial rhythm control (24%), even in presence of heart failure or hydrops fetalis. Postnatal antiarrhythmic therapy was not required in over one third of cases due to spontaneous resolution. Earlier gestational age at diagnosis was associated with arrhythmia resolution at birth. The presence of fetal heart failure or hydrops did not predict postnatal persistence of arrhythmia.
