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

Background: Dual atrioventricular nodal nonreentrant tachycardia (DAVNNT) is an uncommon arrhythmia caused by simultaneous antegrade conduction of a single atrial impulse through fast and slow atrioventricular nodal pathways, resulting in double ventricular activation without a reentrant circuit. Because its electrocardiographic manifestations are variable and may mimic other supraventricular arrhythmias, DAVNNT is frequently overlooked. Case summary: A 57-year-old woman was admitted with cough and chest tightness lasting for more than 1 month. During hospitalization, she developed paroxysmal palpitations and exertional chest tightness. Coronary computed tomography angiography showed no obvious stenosis, and cardiac biomarkers were unremarkable. Initial electrocardiograms suggested sinus rhythm with junctional or atrial ectopic activity. However, 24-hour Holter monitoring demonstrated the absence of a strict 1:1 relationship between P waves and QRS complexes, recurrent short and long PR intervals, fast- and slow-pathway Wenckebach conduction, and 1:2 atrioventricular conduction. These findings were highly suggestive of DAVNNT. The patient was referred for further electrophysiological evaluation. Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic value of careful surface ECG and Holter analysis in recognizing DAVNNT before invasive electrophysiological confirmation becomes available. A diagnosis highly suggestive of DAVNNT should be considered when organized atrial activity is associated with more ventricular activations than atrial depolarizations and when fixed short and long PR intervals recur during ambulatory monitoring.
