[Characterization of patients with syncope in the emergency department-secondary diagnoses and laboratory parameters of inpatients versus outpatients].
Article in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2025. 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
Over 1391 patients presented to the emergency department (ED) of a German university hospital with primary diagnosis of syncope from 2019-2022. This monocentric, retrospective study aims to characterize this cohort regarding secondary diagnoses and blood laboratory parameters. Principal focus lay on the differentiation between inpatients (n = 190; 13.7%) and outpatients (n = 1201; 86.3%). Most common secondary diagnoses comprised head injury (n = 188; 13.5%), infection (n = 126; 9.1%), body injury (n = 124; 8.9%), neurological disease (n = 85; 6.1%), arrhythmogenic heart failure (n = 76; 5.5%), cardiovascular risk factors (n = 75; 5.4%), metabolic/nephrological disease (n = 69; 5.0%), and structural heart disease (n = 68; 4.9%). Surgical interventions were performed using catheter (n = 16; 1.2%), percutaneous coronary interventions (n = 15; 1.1%), and pacemaker/defibrillator/event recorders (n = 12; 0.9%). Inpatients had significantly more secondary diagnoses (3.5 vs. 0.3) and higher incidences of abnormal laboratory parameters compared to outpatients. Secondary diagnoses more common in inpatients included cardiovascular risk factors (37.9 vs. 0.2%), arrhythmogenic heart failure (35.3 vs. 0.7%), infection (57.9 vs. 1.3%), and lung disease (6.3 vs. 0.2%). Abnormal blood laboratory values more frequent in inpatients included elevated levels of highly sensitive (hs) troponin T (58.8 vs. 25.7%), creatinine (36.2 vs. 14.8%), leukocytes (43.4 vs. 36.3%), besides decreased hemoglobin (33.3 vs. 16.0%), potassium (5.3 vs. 1.2%), and sodium (2.1 vs. 0.6%).
