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

backgroundAcute myocardial infarction (AMI) can be induced by several factors. However, AMI induced by Kounis syndrome (an allergic reaction) is extremely rare and is highly susceptible to misdiagnosis. CASE SUMMARY: A 70-year-old man presented after suffering an allergic reaction that caused chest pain triggered upon eating ice cream. Troponin I was found to be elevated, and an electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation. The diagnosis was AMI. He underwent two coronary angiographies, with one intravascular ultrasound during hospitalization showing no evidence of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. The final diagnosis was vasospastic myocardial infarction due to Kounis syndrome. The patient was then treated with hydrocortisone and intravenous antihistamines, and his chest pain symptoms resolved.

conclusionAllergic reactions (such as Kounis syndrome) can cause serious damage to the heart. Physicians should be alert to the consequences and avoid misdiagnosis.
