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

Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a clinical syndrome that generally affects young patients and is associated with distressing symptoms. Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a promising method for the treatment of asystolic reflex syncope, functional bradycardia or atrioventricular block. Because CNA involves parasympathetic denervation, one potential adverse effect may be IST. We present an educational case of a patient with mixed vasovagal syncope and symptomatic sinus bradycardia who underwent CNA, as a result of which bradycardia converted to IST and the patient required subsequent pacemaker implantation. We also review the incidence of IST after CNA and difficulties around the definition and treatment of post-CNA IST.
