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

We present a case of a high-degree advanced atrioventricular block (AVB), which occurred 24 hours after successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), the culprit of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The methylergometrine provocation test for coronary vasospasms, which was performed on the eighth hospital day, revealed transient total occlusion of the first septal perforator branch. After prescribing a calcium channel blocker to the patient, AVB did not recur for three years, as confirmed using an implantable loop recorder (ILR). In this patient, delayed high-grade AVB following primary PCI in the proximal LAD might be caused by the spasm of the first septal perforator branch. Documented cases of spasms in this branch are rare.
