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

Objectives: To analyze the risk factors associated with seizure-like activities during head up tilt test (HUTT)-induced syncope in children with vasovagal syncope (VVS) and assess the prognosis of these patients. Methods: This is a retrospective study. VVS children with or without seizure-like activities during HUTT-induced syncope were included in convulsive or non-convulsive group. The clinical characteristics, hemodynamic parameters during HUTT-induced syncope and follow-up data were reviewed from the HUTT case report form and analyzed. Results: 68 cases (25 males, mean age 11.86 ± 3.35 years) were enrolled in convulsive group and 65 cases in non-convulsive group (24 males, mean age 11.64 ± 2.11 years). There were statistical differences in history duration, response type, and asystole between the two groups (all Conclusions: Asystole and response type were independent risk factors associated with seizure-like activities. Patients with asystole and mixed or cardioinhibitory responses to HUTT should be closely concerned. However, VVS children with seizure-like activities did not have a poor prognosis at follow-up.
