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

introductionCoronary vasospasm is an uncommon but important cause of myocardial ischaemia and ventricular arrhythmias. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we present a striking example of vasospasm manifesting as ST-segment elevation and ventricular tachycardia on Holter monitoring. Later, spasm occurred during a procainamide challenge performed for suspected Brugada syndrome. The patient underwent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator insertion and was successfully treated with oral calcium channel blocker. DISCUSSION: We review contemporary data regarding management and outcomes in coronary vasospasm and discuss the use of implantable defibrillator therapy in patients who have sustained a significant arrhythmic event.
