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

We present a case of a 20 years old male with a history of syncope and Brugada type 1 pattern confirmed by a pharmacological test with flecainide, inducible ventricular tachycardia on an electrophysiological study, and had undergone placement of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). In 12 months of follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic; on a day of extreme heat (46°C), he had a presyncope episode followed by an ICD shock. The patient was brought to the emergency room with heat stroke symptoms. ECG showed a Brugada type 1 pattern, and ICD interrogation showed ventricular fibrillation followed by successful conversion with 36-joules shock. Physical methods were used to lower body temperature in addition to intravenous fluids infusion. The patient was stabilized and discharged after 48 hrs.
