Transient ventricular arrhythmia as a rare cause of dizziness during exercise: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundDizziness is a common symptom in adults and usually due to peripheral causes affecting semicircular canal function or central causes affecting the pons, medulla, or cerebellum. Arrhythmia is a recognized cause of dizziness in people with structural or ischemic heart disease. We report a case of exercise-induced transient ventricular tachycardia and dizziness in a man with no evidence of organic heart disease. CASE SUMMARY: A 42-year-old man presented with a 6 mo history of transient exercise-induced dizziness and prodromal palpitations. The patient was otherwise asymptomatic. Physical examination, otoscopy, vestibular tests, cerebellar tests, laboratory investigations, and imaging investigations were all unremarkable. Twenty-four hour Holter monitoring revealed four episodes of transient ventricular tachycardia during exercise. The patient was started on metoprolol and subsequently underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation. The patient reported a full recovery and no dizziness during daily activities. These results were maintained at the 6 mo follow-up.
conclusionVentricular tachycardia is an uncommon but potentially serious cause of dizziness. The outcome of this case illustrates the benefits of careful clinical examination and communication with specialized centers. High clinical suspicion of arrhythmia in a patient with dizziness merits consultation with a cardiologist and referral to a specialized center to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.
