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

This review discusses important aspects of pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy of reflex syncope. The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in the origin of this frequently observed form of syncope. In most cases, reflex syncopes occur under specific circumstances. Thus, a detailed history is essential. Besides a physical exam und a normal 12-lead ECG, dedicated tests like tilt-table-testing, carotid massage and the implantation of a loop recorder often assist in making the correct diagnosis. The basis of therapy for all patients is reassurance about the benign course of the disease as well as education about adequate measures. Pharmacotherapy is reserved to a minority of patients. In older patients with repeat or severe syncopes and documented asystoles, pacemaker therapy is a valuable option.
