Eagle syndrome presenting with cardiac sinoatrial arrest and recurrent syncope.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
A man in his mid-40s presented with recurrent episodes of syncope, some of which were triggered by neck extension. In-hospital telemetry documented sinoatrial arrest with a prolonged asystole of 11 s. Computed tomography of the neck demonstrated bilateral elongation of the styloid processes consistent with Eagle syndrome (ES). Vagal reflex stimulation was suspected as the underlying mechanism. A dual-chamber pacemaker was implanted prior to surgical styloidectomy. At 3-month follow-up, pacemaker interrogation revealed 2% pacing activity, with no further syncopal episodes. This case highlights an unusual cardioinhibitory presentation of ES and supports early pacing when surgical resolution of vagal stimulation remains uncertain.
