Simultaneous Occurrence of Transient Complete Heart Block With Acute Lateral Medullary Infarct.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lateral Medullary Syndrome (LMS) poses clinical challenges, often resulting from ischemic events in the medulla oblongata. We present a unique case of LMS in a woman in her 60s with a complex medical history. Alongside neurological deficits, she experienced a transient high-grade atrioventricular block (HgAVB), a rare cardiac manifestation linked to LMS. Given the rarity of simultaneous transient HgAVB with acute lateral medullary infarct, only a handful of case reports documenting similar findings are available in the existing literature. More research and case reporting are needed to better our understanding of this area. The patient's condition, marked by a sudden onset of severe headache and left-sided weakness, revealed an acute infarct in the medulla territory. Notably, her HgAVB spontaneously resolved after 72 hours. This case emphasises the crucial need for extended cardiac surveillance in LMS patients due to their susceptibility to life-threatening arrhythmias. The intricate interplay between the brainstem and cardiovascular system highlights autonomic dysregulation as a potential mechanism for cardiac abnormalities. The report advocates for a holistic approach to managing LMS cases, stressing interdisciplinary collaboration for timely diagnosis and intervention, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of fatal arrhythmias.
