[Syncope in children and adolescents].
Review in Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Syncope is common in children and adolescents. Neurally mediated syncope including pallid and cyanotic breath holding spells, vagovasal syncope and neurocardiogenic syncope is based on a common pathomechanism and accounts for approximately 75% of cases. A potentially life-threatening cardiac cause of syncope may be present in up to 6%. Detailed history, physical examination and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) allow discrimination between benign and serious syncope in the majority of pediatric patients. Tilt-testing can be useful when diagnosis is unclear. In neurally mediated syncope, education on awareness of prodromes, modification of life-style and reassurance of the family on benign character of the disease is sufficient for preventing further syncopal episodes in the majority of cases. In pediatric patients unresponsive to these measures midodrine is often effective. Fludrocortisone and cardiac pacing may be considered in selected patients. β‑Blockers are not beneficial in pediatric neurally mediated syncope. Cardiac causes need specific disease-targeted therapy.
