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

introductionWellens syndrome refers to a characteristic electrocardiographic pattern, marked by inverted or biphasic T waves in leads V CASE SUMMARY: We report 4 clinical cases, 3 women and 1 man, with a mean age of 64 years and no prior cardiac history. All patients initially presented with a clinical picture of unstable angina or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, with a characteristic Wellens pattern on electrocardiogram. In 2 patients, the pattern was promptly recognized, however in the other 2 cases, the diagnosis was initially missed, resulting in delayed intervention.

conclusionsOur case series show how promptly recognition and timely action can lead to better prognosis in terms of myocardial injury and left ventricular ejection fraction.
