New Right Bundle Branch Block: A Benign Variant or an Ominous Sign?
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 gentleman in his 80s presented to the hospital with several hours of ongoing, dull-aching chest pain radiating to his left arm. The initial electrocardiogram (ECG) showed atrial fibrillation (AF), bifascicular block (right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left anterior fascicular block), and concordant 0.5 mm ST-segment elevation in leads V1-V3. The repeated ECGs at one-hour and three-hour intervals showed similar findings. The initial high-sensitivity troponin (HS-troponin) level was 2672.7 ng/L. He was triaged as non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). However, his ECGs repeated on the next day showed AF, bifascicular block, and ST-segment elevation in leads V2-V4, I, and augmented vector left (aVL) alongside a significant troponin surge to 25,951 ng/L. The emergency coronary angiogram uncovered severe coronary artery disease that warranted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
