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

In syncope patients, it is essential to make the right diagnosis with respect to underlying etiology. Cardiac (arrhythmic and structural) syncopal episodes carry untoward prognostic implication compared with reflex syncope. While rhythm-symptom correlation of a spontaneous syncopal episode is key to making the correct diagnosis, in case of unclear syncope the early implantation of a loop recorder leads to faster, more efficacious, and more cost-effective diagnosis. This review article summarizes the current data regarding diagnostic accuracy and clinical role of implantable loop recorders. It outlines the superiority of loop recorders in the management of unclear syncope according to present knowledge.
