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

We present a rare case involving the diagnosis and treatment of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease complicated by painful left bundle branch block. In July 2023, an elderly Asian male patient was admitted to the Aerospace Center Hospital with recurrent angina as the main symptom. A retrospective analysis was carried out. Coronary angiography showed severe stenosis in the right coronary artery. After its interventional treatment, the patient's chest pain changed. Through dynamic electrocardiogram monitoring and treadmill exercise testing, he was diagnosed with Painful Left Bundle Branch Block Syndrome. After taking oral beta - blockers, his symptoms improved during follow - up. Usually, this syndrome occurs in those without coronary artery disease and can be missed in patients with coronary heart disease. This case shows that right coronary artery intervention might trigger this syndrome. We hope this case can offer new ideas for future relevant clinical work.
