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

Long QT syndrome is a type of disease caused by ion channels in the heart not working properly. It is a rare condition that can affect up to one in 2000 people. Many people with this condition do not develop any symptoms; however, this can lead to heart rhythm abnormality, known as torsades de pointes, and can sometimes be fatal. The cause of this condition is often inherited; however, it can also be triggered by certain medications. But the latter tends to affect those who already tend to develop this condition. The medications causing this condition include antiarrhythmics, antibiotics, antihistamines, antiemetics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and many more. In this case report, we will be discussing a 63-year-old female who developed long QT syndrome as a result of the multiple drug therapy which is associated with long QT syndrome. Our patient was admitted to the hospital with dyspnoea, fatigue, and weight loss and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. The patient was commenced on several medications leading to a prolonged QTc interval which resolved after stopping the culprit medications.
