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

In cardiology, Kounis syndrome (KS), also known as allergic angina or myocardial infarction, is often overlooked in emergencies. Its pathophysiology differs from that of allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, making differentiation essential. We aimed to report two cases of KS that progressed to cardiac arrest, following the use of contrast medium. In both cases, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was used for resuscitation, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery was planned for coronary artery reconstruction. ECMO should be considered in severe cases of KS, and clinicians should recognize that contrast-induced KS can be life-threatening.
