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

Overconsumption of energy drinks containing high levels of caffeine has been increasingly linked to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This case report describes a 24-year-old Caribbean-Black male with no prior comorbidities who experienced an aborted sudden cardiac death (SCD) after a recent energy drink binge a few hours prior to his ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) was successfully performed for a dreaded widowmaker lesion, thought to have arisen as a sequela of his excessive energy drink intake. The clinician should be cognizant of the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), such as acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) and lethal arrhythmias, implicated with energy drink consumption.
