A Prolonged Ventricular Standstill Episode During a Total Hip Replacement-A Case Report.

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
Background: Ventricular standstill, defined as the complete cessation of ventricular contraction, is a rare and sometimes fatal phenomenon. Few cases have noted patients to be hemodynamically stable and asymptomatic during the event, and no cases have identified ventricular standstill to occur during surgery. Case Summary: A 63-year-old male presented after an elective right total hip replacement, with telemetry revealing a 20-s absence of ventricular contractility during surgery. This is consistent with ventricular standstill. The patient was asymptomatic and hemodynamically stable before, during, and after the event. Conclusions: This case is rare due to the prolonged episode of ventricular standstill that occurred during surgery and the fact that the patient remained hemodynamically stable. Possible pathophysiological mechanisms of action of this phenomenon include both a vasovagal and inflammatory response, especially in a surgical setting with anesthesia.
