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

We report a case of sudden cardiac death in a young Iraqi male due to arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. The classical hallmarks of the biventricular variant of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy were present with fibrofatty infiltration of the walls of both the right and left ventricle. Most of the published literature on cardiomyopathies causing sudden death are described in Western populations, mostly of European descent. To our knowledge there have been no pathological descriptions of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy in the Middle East and the genetic substrates of this disorder in Arab populations are not known. This case underscores the importance of the medicolegal autopsy as a tool of discovery for novel mutations causing heritable cardiac disease that causes death in young people. We conclude that forensic pathologists must be aware of the diagnostic criteria for cardiomyopathies that can be commonly encountered in sudden death of young people.
