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

Atrioventricular block (AVB) is a conduction disorder that can lead to significant bradyarrhythmias with resultant hemodynamic compromise and cardiogenic shock. While most cases of positional AVB that occur during erect posture are attributed to neurocardiogenic mechanisms, complete AVB occurring exclusively in the supine position is an exceedingly rare phenomenon. We present a case of an 87-year-old Caribbean Black male who presented with symptomatic supine-induced advanced heart block, which transiently resolved during standing with unremarkable comprehensive investigations and subsequently underwent successful dual-chamber permanent pacemaker implantation. The clinician should be cognizant of assessing positional vital signs with telemetric monitoring in patients presenting with idiopathic bradyarrhythmias and presyncope.
