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

A 68-year-old patient was referred for recurrent episodes of syncope associated solely with air travel. He did not experience episodes of syncope in other situations and was well otherwise. His ECG, echocardiogram, exercise stress test and MIBI were unremarkable. It was determined that the patient had been experiencing repeated vasovagal syncope from an uncommon trigger of air travel. He responded to nonpharmacological measures to treat vasovagal syncope and doses of fludrocortisone the night before air travel, and was thereafter able to travel successfully.
