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

backgroundThe R-on-T phenomenon is a malignant arrhythmia associated with potentially catastrophic consequences. It may initiate ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, which can result in syncope or sudden cardiac death. This manifestation poses a great challenge for anesthesiologists. However, it is rarely encountered in the perioperative setting. CASE SUMMARY: We herein present a case in which the R-on-T phenomenon was incidentally revealed by 24-h Holter monitoring in a patient diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer. Careful evaluation and treatment with mexiletine were carried out preoperatively under consultation with a cardiovascular specialist, and surgery was uneventfully performed under general anesthesia after thorough preparation.

conclusionPhysicians should be vigilant about this infrequent but potentially fatal arrhythmia. Our experience suggests that the anesthetic process can be greatly optimized with careful preparation.
