Review in The Journal of innovations in cardiac rhythm management, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Neurocardiogenic syncope is the most frequent cause of syncope in the general population. Many years have been spent on determining an effective treatment for this condition. Conventional treatment usually follows a tiered approach for neurocardiogenic syncope, as follows: first, lifestyle modification, including increased fluid intake and the introduction of physical counterpressure maneuvers, is tried; then the use of targeted pharmacologic therapy, particularly agents that support blood pressure or that drive blood pressure is attempted; and, finally, pacemaker implantation in patients with a predominant cardioinhibitory component to their syncopal episodes is performed. More recently, autonomic modulation with cardiac ganglion ablation has emerged as a promising treatment modality for patients refractory to traditional approaches. In this review, we sought to summarize the existing therapies for neurocardiogenic syncope and explore the latest research on new modalities of treatment.
