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 is a case report of a 31-year-old woman with past medical history of hereditary angioedema (HAE) who developed acute right ventricular dysfunction. The patient presented to the emergency department with complaints of acute abdominal pain and swelling. Her electrocardiogram demonstrated sinus tachycardia and T wave inversion in leads V1-V3, otherwise without findings suggestive of ischemia. Troponin was elevated at 1.83 ng/mL. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed normal left ventricular function with ejection fraction of 65-70%, but the right ventricle (RV) was dilated and severely hypokinetic and there was moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Patient was managed symptomatically for her HAE exacerbation. Her abdominal swelling resolved, troponins continued to trend down, and she was discharged home after three days. A follow up echocardiogram done six months later demonstrated normal RV function.
