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

Premature ventricular complex (PVC) constitutes the most prevalent arrhythmia in pregnancy. Because of the potentially adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, managing symptomatic high-burden PVC in pregnancy is challenging; thus, selecting the optimal treatment is crucial. Conventionally, PVC has been managed with beta blockers. However, beta blockers may have negative consequences on the developing fetus. PVC ablation can be performed in patients without fluoroscopy using three-dimensional electroanatomical technology. We present a clinical case series of 6 high-burden pregnant patients who underwent single catheter PVC ablation with zero fluoroscopy during the second trimester of pregnancy. The right ventricular outflow tract was the site of origin of the PVC, which was effectively ablated. All patients were able to continue the pregnancy and delivered at full term. Managing pregnant patients with high-burden PVC is challenging as this population is underrepresented in clinical trials. This case series details the successful management of PVC in pregnancy.
