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

backgroundLyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in North America and Europe. Infection with the spirochete CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of an otherwise healthy 31-year-old female presenting with LC manifesting with SA exit block causing asystole over 12 s with concomitant syncope. Signs of SA block completely resolved with antibiotic treatment with a third-generation cephalosporin. The patient did not require permanent pacemaker implantation and had no sinus pauses after 12 months of follow-up as confirmed via implantable loop recorder.

conclusionThe possibility of LC in patients with sinus node dysfunction should be considered, as adequate antibiotic therapy can spare patients from potentially unnecessary pacemaker implantation.
