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

backgroundFamilial ST-segment depression syndrome (Bundgaard syndrome) is a recently defined, dominant inherited heart disease characterized by widespread nonischemic ST-segment depression and an increased risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death (SCD). CASE SUMMARY: A 41-year-old male patient presented with chest pain and generalized ST-segment depression (with aVR elevation) and showed slowing of left anterior descending artery flow on angiography. Normal scintigraphy, family history of SCD, and stress test findings supported the diagnosis of Bundgaard syndrome. The patient was treated conservatively without implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation, and regular follow-up was planned. DISCUSSION: Establishment of the diagnosis and family screening is crucial to offer early treatments of arrhythmias and heart failure to improve outcomes and prevent SCD. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Bundgaard syndrome, which can be a precursor to malignant arrhythmias, should be kept in mind in patients with persistent widespread ST-segment depression without ischemia.
