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

Pregabalin is widely prescribed for neuropathic pain and anxiety disorders and is generally considered to have a favorable cardiovascular safety profile. However, rare cardiac conduction disturbances have been reported, mainly in overdose settings. We report the case of a 29-year-old woman admitted to the intensive care unit for toxic coma secondary to acute pregabalin intoxication, complicated by a second-degree atrioventricular block with 2:1 conduction. The patient required mechanical ventilation and transient chronotropic support with isoproterenol. Cardiac investigations were unremarkable. The clinical course was rapidly favorable after supportive management and drug discontinuation. This case highlights a rare but potentially serious cardiac adverse effect of pregabalin intoxication and emphasizes the importance of electrocardiographic monitoring.
