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

Loss of consciousness is a frequent cause for an emergency call to the emergency medical services (EMS). It can be associated with life-threatening conditions. A distinction must be made between transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) and syncope, which is of cardiovascular origin by definition. Initial assessment in prehospital emergency care should follow the ABCDE algorithm including a 12-lead ECG. The presence of important risk factors such as occurrence in supine position, physical stress, palpitations, history of heart diseases, and any abnormalities in the ECG warrants hospital admission. Initial treatment without admission to an emergency department may only be acceptable for healthy patients without any risk factors and injuries, when vital signs are normal and an orthostatic etiology seems most likely.
