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

It has been hypothesized that increased intracranial pressure (ICP) may cause sick sinus syndrome (SSS) due to its effect on vagal discharge to the heart, resulting in disruption to the sinus cycle, despite age-related degeneration of the sinoatrial node being the most common intrinsic factor leading to sinus node dysfunction. In this case report, a 47-year-old man with unknown medical conditions presented to the emergency department at King Saud Medical City with a four-day history of headache, confusion, and chest pain. He also reported dizziness and lightheaded. Extensive cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) and SSS were identified. We investigated the SSS etiology and its relation to CVT, concluding that SSS was caused by elevated ICP secondary to CVT.
