Self-Induced Stretch Syncope: An Unusual Non-Epileptic Paroxysmal Event. A Case Report and Literature Mini-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
Stretch syncope (SS) is a benign, uncommon, distinct condition described mainly in adolescent males. It is responsible for paroxysmal events started by stereotyped stretching actions with neck hyperextension, culminating in alteration of consciousness. Motor manifestations are often present and may be associated with a generalized slowing of the electroencephalographic activity, challenging the diagnosis. Despite a few cases reported in the literature, different mechanisms have been implied in the pathogenesis, involving both local and systemic hemodynamic phenomena. Here, we report on an 8-year-old girl with self-induced SS, providing new insights into the related neurophysiological profile and discussing the possible etiology. Our evidence of transient and dynamic vascular impairment supports the hypothesis of SS as a multifactorial disorder.
