The rare presentation of the de Winter's pattern: Case report and literature review.

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.
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
Although not classified as a ST elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI), the patterns known as equivalents also require prompt recognition and treatment. A 50-year-old male with no pertinent history presented to the emergency department for chest pain that radiated to his left shoulder. An electrocardiogram (EKG) revealed findings consistent with the de Winter's pattern, which were greater than 1 mm upsloping ST depressions at the J point in leads V3-V6 (maximally in leads V3-V5), tall, peaked T waves in leads II, III, and V3-V5, ST elevations in lead aVR, and 1 mm ST elevation in V1 and V2. The physical exam, troponins, and other laboratory investigations were unrevealing. Urgent, diagnostic coronary angiography revealed complete occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery, which was successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and two drug-eluting stents. After the stent placement, arterial blood flow was re-established and the ECG normalized. The patient was started on guideline based treatment and discharged home once medically stable. The de Winter's pattern on electrocardiogram indicates a significant coronary artery disease. This pattern requires urgent intervention, typically percutaneous stent placement.
