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

backgroundJ waves are abnormal electrocardiogram findings that indicate an elevation at the junction between the QRS complex and the ST segment. Hypothermia is associated with fetal arrhythmia, along with the increase of J-wave manifestation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 68-year-old woman with a medical history of old cerebral infarction and dementia was admitted to the emergency department with accidental hypothermia. An admission, electrocardiogram (ECG) showed prominent J waves with the highest amplitude recorded in limb and precordial leads. Continuous ECG monitoring was recorded during the rewarming therapy. As the body temperature increased, the amplitude of J waves became lower and disappeared. This case clearly showed that the degree of core body temperature is related to the height of the J-wave amplitude. There was no fatal arrhythmia during rewarming therapy.

conclusionThis case describes serial changes in the J-wave amplitude and morphology during rewarming therapy. Continuous ECG monitoring is important in a patient with severe hypothermia.
