Evolution of de Winter syndrome to Wellens syndrome: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Both de Winter syndrome and Wellens syndrome mainly indicate severe stenosis in the proximal segment of the anterior descending coronary artery. However, as research deepens, the accuracy and specificity of diagnosing proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) culprit lesions separately by de Winter syndrome or Wellens syndrome are challenged. The patient in this case developed both syndromes in a short period of time, and imaging showed significant stenosis of the proximal LAD, indicating a culprit lesion. The successive appearance of these two special electrocardiogram changes may increase the accuracy and specificity of diagnosing LAD as a culprit lesion, and the short-term occurrence of these two special electrocardiogram changes also suggests that the culprit lesion may be incomplete occlusion. In addition, de Winter syndrome is prone to missed diagnosis, while Wellens syndrome is prone to misdiagnosis or underestimation of its risk.
