Selective Intracoronary Injection of Nitrates Was Effective for Contrast Media-induced Type I Kounis Syndrome After Treatment with Steroids and Antihistamines.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 77-year-old man presented for computed tomography (CT) with iodinated contrast for follow-up of gastric cancer. After contrast injection, the patient experienced cardiac arrest. A post-return spontaneous circulation electrocardiogram showed ST segment elevation in the inferior leads and V1-3. Since type I Kounis syndrome (KS) was suspected, corticosteroids and antihistamines were administered intravenously. Subsequently, coronary angiography (CAG) revealed coronary spasms, and selective intracoronary injection of nitrates successfully resolved each spasm. Strategic substitution of contrast media did not induce any additional allergic reactions. The optimal timing and preferred strategies for performing CAG in patients with KS were also discussed.
