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

Wellens syndrome is usually diagnosed in asymptomatic patients with normal or only slightly elevated cardiac enzymes. There are two different ECG patterns (Type A and Type B) described in the literature. Earlier studies demonstrated that the appearance of the Wellens pattern had a specificity of 89% and a positive predictive value of 86% for severe stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) hence a timely recognition and therapeutic approach may prevent fatal outcomes in the patients. Here we are presenting a case of a 69-year-old gentleman with chest pain and Type A Wellens Syndrome pattern on ECG who was found to have LAD stenosis.
