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

We present a case of 36-year-old woman with twin pregnancy, Chagas cardiomyopathy and history of multiple episodes of dizziness and syncope. The patient's Holter study revealed sinus pauses of up to 5.3 seconds, frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and some episodes of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia at 110 bpm. To avoid teratogenic radiation, dual chamber pacemaker implantation was performed guided by transthoracic echocardiography. The patient was treated with metoprolol succinate 100 mg once a day to reduce PVC and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. During follow up, the patient reported complete resolution of syncope and dizziness. She went on to have a normal delivery without complications. PCRs for Chagas in both twins were negative.
