Wellens Syndrome Corollaries: A Call for Definition with a Case Series.
Article in Clinical practice and cases in emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
introductionFirst described in 1982, the Wellens wave is an electrocardiographic (ECG) finding indicative of a critical lesion of the left anterior descending artery. These T-wave findings are classically found in ECG leads V2 and V3, although they may extend into the lateral leads V4-V6. CASE SERIES: We present three cases of patients with Wellens waves that were found only in leads V3 and V4 and did not include V2.
conclusionWe suggest that the classical definition of T-waves in leads V2 and V3 is not the only manifestation of Wellens waves to indicate pathology. Wellens waves found in two contiguous leads in leads V1-V6 can be considered Wellens corollaries, thereby requiring the same emergent treatment as classical Wellens syndrome. We also recognize the need for a consensus on the inclusion criteria of Wellens syndrome, particularly the laboratory and ECG findings that define the disease.
