Bilateral robotic sympathectomy for recurrent ventricular tachycardia in a patient with complex cardiovascular history.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
A 76-year-old female with complex cardiovascular history requiring multiple open and transcatheter interventions presented with recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) and multiple implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks. Her VT persisted despite maximal medical therapy. She underwent two left stellate ganglion blocks, which provided temporary VT suppression. She was found to have significant cardiomegaly and a large chronic descending aortic dissection on pre-operative workup, which did not require acute intervention. Given her persistent symptoms, she underwent bilateral robotic sympathectomy. She tolerated the procedure without complication and remained without ICD shocks at her 6-month clinic visit.
