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

backgroundTransitions between narrow- and wide-QRS tachycardia are often attributed to supraventricular tachycardia with aberrant conduction; however, alternative mechanisms should be considered. CASE SUMMARY: A 59-year-old man presented with tachycardia that alternated between narrow- and wide-QRS morphologies with progressive fusion. Electrophysiologic study demonstrated coexistence of orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) using a left lateral accessory pathway and ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating from the right ventricular outflow tract. During AVRT, spontaneous VT occurred and entrained the AVRT, accelerating the tachycardia cycle length. Spontaneous termination or slowing of VT resulted in immediate continuation of AVRT via retrograde conduction over the accessory pathway. Catheter ablation of the accessory pathway followed by VT focus ablation eliminated both tachycardias. DISCUSSION: This case illustrates double tachycardia consisting of orthodromic AVRT and VT originating from the right ventricular outflow tract, treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Transitions between narrow- and wide-QRS tachycardia with fusion beats suggest double tachycardia.
