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

backgroundPremature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are among the most frequently observed arrhythmias in clinical practice. They represent early depolarizations originating from the atria or ventricles, respectively, and are often detected in both healthy individuals and patients with cardiovascular disease. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn the ETHAPRO study, 98 patients (58 males, 40 females; mean age 45 years) with either PACs ( RESULTS AND

conclusionsEthacizine treatment led to significant reductions in PACs (88.9%/ 91.7%;
