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

Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy secondary to persistent tachycardia in children is a distinct form of cardiomyopathy caused by sustained or frequent tachyarrhythmias. It is characterized by cardiac enlargement, impaired cardiac function, and heart failure and is clinically reversible with early and standardized treatment. Herein, we report a challenging pediatric case presenting with recurrent intermittent dyspnea and palpitations for 1 year. The final diagnoses were as follows: (a) paroxysmal atrial tachycardia and (b) tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy. Under the guidance of a three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping system, an intracardiac electrophysiological study accurately localized the focal atrial tachycardia to the posterior margin of the right upper pulmonary vein, followed by successful radiofrequency ablation. The patient's clinical symptoms improved significantly postoperatively, and the patient was discharged uneventfully. During the 8-month follow-up period, no recurrence of atrial tachycardia was documented. Follow-up echocardiography confirmed normalization of cardiac dimensions and function.
