Reversible 2:1 Atrioventricular Block After Chronic Coronary Revascularization.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAtrioventricular (AV) conduction disturbances in elderly patients are often attributed to degeneration. However, myocardial ischemia may also cause AV block, which can be reversible with coronary revascularization. CASE SUMMARY: A 77-year-old woman with diabetes and hypertension presented with recurrent syncope. A 7-day Holter monitor showed intermittent 2:1 AV block and asymptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Cardiac computed tomography and coronary angiography revealed severe proximal and mid left anterior descending artery stenoses, located before the origin of the first septal branch and classified as Mosseri type IIB. She underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, with complete resolution of AV block. At the 30-month follow-up, she remained asymptomatic without recurrence, avoiding pacemaker implantation. DISCUSSION: AV block in older adults is usually considered degenerative, but in selected cases it may result from reversible ischemia. In this case, critical left anterior descending artery stenoses likely caused transient AV block through impaired perfusion of the conduction system. Recovery after revascularization supported a functional mechanism. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Critical coronary lesions may cause reversible AV block, and revascularization can restore conduction while avoiding unnecessary pacemaker implantation. Careful anatomical evaluation can identify patients who may benefit from revascularization without permanent pacing.
