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

Lateral medullary syndrome (LMS) is an ischemic stroke of the medulla oblongata that involves the territory of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. LMS is often missed as the cause of autonomic dysregulation in patients with recent brain stem stroke. Due to the location of the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), the dorsal vagal nucleus, and the nucleus ambiguous in the lateral medulla oblongata, patients with LMS occasionally have autonomic dysregulation-associated clinical manifestations. We report a case of LMS-associated autonomic dysregulation. The case presented by recurrent syncope, requiring permanent pacemaker placement. This case shows the importance of recognizing LMS as a potential cause of life-threatening arrhythmias, heart block, and symptomatic bradycardia. Extended cardiac monitoring should be considered for patients with medullary strokes.
