Acute proximal left anterior descending thrombosis manifested by persistent hiccups: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionHiccup is usually a benign and self-limited phenomenon. Therefore, if hiccups do not resolve by themselves and even last for a long time, it may be the marker of serious medical conditions. PATIENT CONCERNS: We encountered a case presenting with recurrent abdominal discomfort. Diffuse ST-segment elevation in V2-V6 and elevated Troponin I was identified. He had complained about constipation and incomplete intestinal obstruction was ever suspected. Four days later, he exhibited persistent hiccups. DIAGNOSIS: He was diagnosed with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction. And elective coronary angiography showed that proximal left anterior descending (LAD) was occluded by fresh thrombus with TIMI 1 flow.
interventionsThe lesion in proximal LAD was dilated with low pressure. Interestingly, the hiccups reduced. And after stent implantation the hiccup disappeared in 24 hours. OUTCOMES: The patient was discharged in good general condition, with maintenance therapy and a follow-up protocol.
conclusionHiccup is only rarely described in the context of acute proximal LAD thrombosis. However, if this special symptom occurs intractably during disease progression, thrombus is revealed to be the probable cause, prompt opening of the criminal vessel should be performed besides strengthening of anticoagulant and antiplatelet.
