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

introductionWe present the case of a patient with the unusual occurrence of phantom arm pain and an acute exacerbation of chronic tinnitus during an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). CASE REPORT: A 56-year-old man was having several classic symptoms associated with acute coronary syndrome, along with perceived pain in an arm lost years earlier in a traumatic accident and a sudden worsening of his chronic tinnitus. Emergency medical services responded and diagnosed a STEMI on scene. A 100% occlusion of his right coronary artery was rapidly identified in the hospital and treated with the deployment of two drug-eluting stents. After the procedure his symptoms resolved. He was discharged without incident two days later.

conclusionWhereas arm pain is a well-documented presenting symptom of acute coronary syndrome, phantom limb pain and exacerbation of tinnitus have been rarely reported in the literature.
