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

backgroundBrugada syndrome (BrS) and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) may overlap clinically, but shared mechanisms remain unclear. RYR1 mutations have not been previously linked to these arrhythmia syndromes. CASE SUMMARY: A 32-year-old man with a family history of BrS presented with palpitations and positional ventricular tachycardia. Ajmaline testing unmasked a diagnostic type 1 BrS electrocardiographic pattern. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed subtle right ventricular dyskinesia and focal left ventricular fibrosis, meeting borderline ACM criteria. Electrophysiological study showed noninducible ventricular arrhythmias, but premature ventricular contractions were reproducibly provoked in the left-lateral position. After shared decision-making, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was implanted for primary prevention. Genetic testing revealed a pathogenic truncating RYR1 variant (p.Arg2920∗). DISCUSSION: This case illustrates a novel association of RYR1 mutation with overlapping BrS-ACM features. Shared connexome and calcium-handling abnormalities may underlie this phenotype. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: RYR1 mutations may contribute to overlapping BrS-ACM phenotypes. Careful imaging, provocative testing, and genetic assessment can guide management.
