Incessant Ventricular Tachycardia in Infant With Structurally Normal Heart: Is it Truly Benign or a Old Wives' Tale.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. 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
Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a rare form of arrhythmia in neonates that can be life-threatening prompting its timely diagnosis and importance of treatment to avoid serious complications, that is; heart failure. We describe a neonate with an incessant idiopathic ventricular tachycardia presented with heart failure and severe left ventricular dysfunction. This infant presented with poor feeding, irritability, increase work of breathing, and heartbeat of 260/min. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed wide complex tachycardia and the echocardiogram showed a structurally normal heart with dilated cardiomyopathy. The clinical signs and chest X-ray changes were consistent with cardiac failure but preserved peripheral perfusion. This presentation, the sustained VT and the global cardiac failure makes the treatment challenging; therefore, early diagnosis of incessant VT in neonate is important for better prognosis.
