Assessment of Canadian Syncope Risk Score in the prediction of outcomes of patients with syncope at the Emergency Department of Suez Canal University: STROBE compliant.

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
abstractSyncope is a temporary loss of consciousness usually related to insufficient blood flow to the brain. It's also called fainting or "passing out." Syncope is responsible for 3% to 5% of emergency department visits, with a hospitalization rate in about 40% of cases, with an average stay of 5.5 days. The Canadian Syncope Risk Score showed good discrimination and calibration for 30-day risk of serious adverse events after disposition from the emergency department.The aim was to assess Canadian Syncope Risk Score in predicting outcomes and mortality at the emergency department of Suez Canal University Hospitals.A prospective observational cohort study was carried out in emergency department in Suez Canal University Hospital. After approval by the Ethical and Research Committee of Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University, 60 patients with syncope attending to emergency department were included to this study. All included participants were assessed by history taking and they also assessed by the Canadian Syncope Risk Score.The Canadian Syncope Risk Score's mean of the study group was 4.9 and the range of the scores was from -2 to 11. The mean of the percentage of risk of serious events at 30 days in the study group was 29.17% and it ranged from 0.7% to 83.6%.There was a statistically significant difference between means Canadian Syncope Risk Score's score regarding complication occurrence. Cases which showed complications had a mean score of 7.33 compared to a mean score of 1.25 in case of no complication occurrence P-value <.001. At a cut-off point of more than 3 for the Canadian Syncope Risk Score's, sensitivity of that score in complication's occurrence prediction was 100% and the specificity was 87.5% P-value <.001.The Canadian Syncope Risk Score's is strong predictor for risk of serious adverse events and a good indicator for admission, with 100% sensitivity and 87.5% specificity at cut off point more than 3.
