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
backgroundSyncope is a common and clinically relevant condition in the emergency department. Accurate risk stratification is essential to distinguish between benign and serious causes, guiding appropriate outpatient or inpatient management. This is crucial for preventing complications and ensuring cost-effective care.
objectiveThis study evaluates the applicability of the 2018 ESC guidelines (European Society of Cardiology) in clinical practice.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted at a tertiary care emergency department. Data from all patients who presented with syncope in 2022 were included.
resultsA total of 492 patients were analyzed, including 327 (62.8%) inpatients who underwent full evaluation. High-risk criteria were significantly more frequent among inpatients, while low-risk syncope was more common in the outpatient group. The high-risk criteria of the ESC guidelines demonstrated a sensitivity of 90.8% for the detection of dangerous syncope. In addition, recurrent syncope within the last 12 months was associated with an increased risk of dangerous syncope.
conclusionThe ESC guidelines demonstrated a sensitivity of over 90%, establishing them as a reliable tool for risk stratification in patients with syncope. Recurrent syncope may represent an additional high-risk criterion that should be further investigated in future prospective studies.
