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

Background: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPWS) causes an accessory pathway between the atria and ventricles, in parallel with the atrioventricular node and the bundle of His; it causes a "short circuit" that deregulates the physiological pacing and causes tachycardia. A case of WPWS is described in a patient with cocaine, alcohol, and tobacco consumption. Clinical case: A 34-year-old man with a regular history of cocaine, alcohol, and tobacco use for 14 years presented with paroxysmal palpitations, chest pain, and shortness of breath. ECG 1 revealed supraventricular tachycardia with delta waves and a short P-R interval; ECG 2 revealed reversal of the tachycardia without delta waves and inverted T waves in lead 1, aVR, and aVL, and a short P-R interval; ECG 3 revealed sinus rhythm, 90 bpm, and inverted T waves in lead 3, aVR, and v1. TTE showed a normal left ventricle; a normal LVEF, greater than 50% (Simpson's method); and no stenosis or regurgitation in the mitral, tricuspid, and mitral valves. 24-hour Holter monitoring revealed non-sustained paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, with a narrow QRS complex, a short P-R, interval of 122 bpm, and T wave inversion during paroxysm. Reversal of paroxysm maintained a short P-R and normal T waves. Conclusions: Upon reversal of the patient's supraventricular tachycardia paroxysms, his T waves corrected (positive T waves). The inverted T waves were due to WPWS, triggered by cocaine, alcohol, and tobacco use, and possibly related to myocardial ischemic involvement.
