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

The prediction and management of sudden cardiac death risk continue to pose significant challenges in cardiovascular care despite advances in therapies over the last two decades. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance-a marker of myocardial fibrosis-is a powerful non-invasive tool with the potential to aid the prediction of sudden death and direct the use of preventative therapies in several cardiovascular conditions. In this state-of-the-art review, we provide a critical appraisal of the current evidence base underpinning the utility of LGE in both ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathies together with a focus on future perspectives and the role for machine learning and digital twin technologies.
