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

Background: Dobutamine stress echocardiography is an established diagnostic modality for assessing myocardial ischaemia in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Dobutamine infusion causes dose-dependent increase in heart rate and contractility. However, in some cases, it induces paradoxical sinus deceleration, whose underlying mechanism and clinical significance are not fully understood. Case summary: We present episodes of paradoxical sinus deceleration observed during dobutamine stress echocardiography in six (four males and two females) patients and described its patterns of occurrence and clinical and echocardiographic characteristics. Discussion: Paradoxical sinus deceleration occurred mostly at maximal dobutamine infusion was accompanied with a decline in blood pressure and resolved spontaneously following cessation of dobutamine infusion. Individuals experiencing paradoxical sinus deceleration had in common abnormal left ventricle geometry but differed with regard to age, sex, and cardiometabolic risk factors.
