Kounis Syndrome: A More Commonly Encountered Cause of Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Article in Heart views : the official journal of the Gulf Heart Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Kounis syndrome (KS) has been defined as cardiovascular symptoms that occur secondary to allergic or hypersensitivity insults. It was thought to be a rare condition but is now being more commonly identified as the cause of acute coronary events in patients without previous history of coronary artery disease (CAD). The most identified KS cases have been provoked by medications on elderly male patients. The purpose of this case report is to describe an unusual case of KS, triggered by a food allergen in a young female patient. This case reminds us that it is important to have a high index of suspicion, particularly in MI patients presenting without previous history of CAD. In this manner, an appropriate management, considering both cardiac and allergic components of KS, can be given without further delay and progression of symptoms.
