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

Aims: Optimal outcomes for patients with cardiac arrhythmias can be achieved through multimodal therapy including lifestyle support, medication, and interventions. Planning of these therapy concepts requires a detailed understanding of phenotypes, responses to therapies, and outcomes. Objective: The prospective Long-term Outcome and Predictors for Recurrence after Medical and Interventional Treatment of Arrhythmias at the University Heart Center Hamburg (TRUST) combines deep phenotypic, procedural, and follow-up information in a contemporary cohort of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Methods and results: TRUST is an investigator-initiated, prospective, cohort study enrolling consecutive patients at the UHZ Hamburg. Comprehensive baseline work-up, imaging, and biobanking at baseline is combined with follow-up using a combination of in-person visits, online questionnaires, and remote rhythm-monitoring. Enrolment started in March 2021 and is ongoing. This paper describes the design and the clinical characteristics of the first 1500 enrolled patients with verified baseline datasets (562 women (37%), median age 64 (IQR 55, 74) years). Overall, 1077/1500 patients (71%) were seen for atrial fibrillation, 161/1500 (11%) for ventricular tachycardia and premature ventricular complexes, 239/1500 (16%) for supraventricular tachycardia, and 23/1500 (2%) patients for other reasons. Ablations, rhythm surgery, or invasive procedures were performed in 1363/1500 (91%) within 1 month after inclusion. Conclusion: This snapshot of the first 1500 patients enrolled in TRUST illustrates current characteristics and comorbidity burden in patients undergoing arrhythmia treatment. This rich data set will provide information on treatment patterns, detailed phenotypes, and follow-up, offering insights into the natural progression and treatment responses of arrhythmias in routine care.
