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

To examine the association between intraoperative premature ventricular contraction (PVC) burden and 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in liver transplantation (LT) recipients, and to determine whether complex ventricular ectopy carries prognostic significance distinct from isolated PVCs. In this retrospective cohort study, continuous intraoperative ECG recordings from 2,290 consecutive LT recipients were analyzed using a validated AI-based detection pipeline. PVCs were classified as isolated or complex (couplet, NSVT, bigeminy, trigeminy), with total complex PVC burden as the primary exposure. Associations with 30-day MACE were estimated by multivariable logistic regression across burden tertiles. Sensitivity analyses used a hard MACE endpoint excluding arrhythmic components and with additional adjustment for isolated PVC burden. MACE occurred in 515 patients (22.5%). PVCs were detected in 98.2% of patients; isolated PVC prevalence did not differ between those with and without MACE (98.4% vs. 98.0%, P = 0.666), whereas complex PVC prevalence was significantly higher in the MACE group (93.2% vs. 85.8%, P < 0.001). Total complex PVC burden showed a graded association with MACE across tertiles (T1 aOR 1.71, 95% CI 1.11-2.65; T2 aOR 2.26, 95% CI 1.47-3.47; T3 aOR 2.79, 95% CI 1.83-4.27), whereas isolated PVC burden was not associated with MACE in any tertile. The association persisted in both sensitivity analyses. Complex intraoperative ventricular ectopy, but not isolated PVCs, was independently associated with 30-day MACE in LT recipients. AI-enabled PVC quantification may identify an intraoperative signal associated with postoperative cardiovascular risk, although prospective and external validation is required before clinical application.
