Navigating Diagnostic Challenges in Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Case of Bezold-Jarisch Reflex and Wellens Pattern.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) presents significant diagnostic challenges, particularly in cases with atypical presentations and complex clinical scenarios. Here, we describe the case of a 59-year-old man who presented with presyncope, bradycardia, hypotension, and later syncope, attributed to the Bezold-Jarisch reflex. Electrocardiographic findings suggested both inferior and anterior wall infarction, with dynamic changes in T-wave morphology further complicating the diagnostic process. Despite a type A Wellens' pattern indicating critical stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery, coronary angiography revealed a complete thrombotic lesion in the proximal right coronary artery (RCA), necessitating urgent intervention. Despite the Wellens pattern indicating LAD involvement, RCA revascularization took precedence due to immediate thrombotic risk. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges associated with conflicting clinical manifestations in ACS and highlights the importance of individualized management strategies integrating advanced diagnostic modalities to optimize outcomes. Understanding the interplay of complex clinical presentations and employing a nuanced approach to management are crucial in effectively navigating ACS scenarios.
