Review in Current cardiology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewPersons with diabetes mellitus (DM) have increased morbidity and mortality rates compared with persons without DM. Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a leading cause of death, and multiple studies have found an increased risk of SCD among individuals with DM. This review sought to collect the latest knowledge of the epidemiological and pathophysiological interplay between DM and SCD. RECENT

findingsPersons with DM have a two- to tenfold increased risk of SCD compared with persons without DM. The underlying mechanisms for the increased risk of SCD are complex and multifactorial. The main pathophysiological contributors are DM-induced cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), metabolic changes, silent ischemia, and polypharmacy. Persons with DM have an increased risk of SCD. Future studies should focus on CAN and the combined risk of QT prolongation from the interplay between CAN, hypoglycemia, and polypharmacy. Genes and pathways involved in control of the autonomic nervous system and cardiac ion channels could be a future focal point.
