An Unusual Case of Paroxysmal Third-Degree Atrioventricular Block: Thinking Outside the Box.
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
During the assessment of a third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block in a patient with syncope, different etiologies should be considered and evaluated. Extrinsic vagal paroxysmal AV block, extrinsic idiopathic AV block and intrinsic paroxysmal AV block are among the types of third-degree AV block in the differential diagnoses. Extrinsic vagal paroxysmal third-degree atrioventricular block (EV-AVB) is linked to parasympathetic influence on cardiac conduction and can be observed in bladder distention and urinary retention. Topical and ophthalmic beta-blockers have shown systemic effects such as bradycardia with and without syncope. We present the case of an 80-year-old male with symptomatic EV-AVB likely precipitated by bladder outlet obstruction and chronic use of an ophthalmic beta-blocker, often overlooked causes of third-degree AV block.
