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

A 51-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital for medical evaluation and treatment of a syncopal episode following multiple bee stings. The syncopal episode was attributed to an allergic reaction and the patient was treated with intravenous hydration and anti-histamines. Twenty-four hours later, the patient manifested an acute coronary syndrome with chest discomfort, electrocardiographic disorders, and myocardial enzyme motility (including troponin). Coronary angiography was performed without revealing pathological findings and she was diagnosed with Kounis syndrome type I. The management of the patient included administration of single antiplatelet therapy combined with a calcium channel blocker (CCB). The patient follow-up was uncomplicated. In patients with Kounis syndrome type I undergoing a normal coronary angiography, in the absence of specific guidelines, single antiplatelet therapy and CCB may be a reasonable approach.
