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

Preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) in early non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) remains a major clinical challenge. Traditional risk stratification centred on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) poorly captures arrhythmic risk, particularly in early dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC). Increasing recognition of fibrosis-based and genotype-specific arrhythmogenic substrates has prompted a shift towards multimodal risk assessment strategies integrating imaging, electrocardiographic, and genetic data. This review examines contemporary approaches to risk stratification in early NICM, with particular emphasis on the role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). The expanding role of genotype-specific phenotyping is also explored, including high-risk arrhythmogenic variants and the integration of genotype with imaging phenotype as a promising route to improved prediction. Collectively, these advances support a transition from population-based LVEF thresholds towards more personalised and biologically informed strategies for prevention of SCD in early NICM.
