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

Cystic tumour of the atrioventricular nodal region is a rare primary cardiac tumour that can cause sudden death. Antemortem diagnosis and successful excision of this type of tumour are extremely rare. Three cases of sudden death are reported: A 25- and 40-year-old with a history of heart block and a 60-year-old with no medical history. There have been more than 120 cases of sudden death attributed to primary cardiac tumours in the literature. Although over 100 of these lesions were histologically benign, their intracardiac locations precipitated conductive and haemodynamic abnormalities that resulted in sudden death. The most common intracardiac lesion causing sudden death, cystic tumour of the atrioventricular node, however, may not be discovered unless the atrioventricular node is microscopically examined.
