1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Dressler's syndrome, a rare complication of myocardial infarction, is a form of secondary pericarditis that typically develops within one to six weeks following the infarction. In this report, we present a case of a 68-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Dressler's syndrome after nine weeks from acute coronary syndrome. The patient first presented with an ill-tolerated episode of atrial fibrillation. Based on clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings, accompanied by a history of respiratory tract infections, an infection of an unknown origin was initially suspected. Lack of response to the applied treatment prompted the suspicion of Dressler's syndrome. This was followed by a cardiac MRI, which showed features of pericarditis. The patient responded well to a seven-day treatment with ibuprofen and was discharged home in good general condition.
