Unmasking a Hidden Bridge: Exercise-Induced Right Bundle Branch Block Without Ischemia.
Article in Case reports in cardiology, 2026. 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
Background: Myocardial bridging (MB) is usually benign but may occasionally be associated with ischemia or arrhythmias. Exercise induced conduction abnormalities are rare and poorly understood. Case Summary: A 69-year-old asymptomatic male developed transient right bundle branch block (RBBB) at peak exertion during treadmill stress testing, without angina, ischemic ECG changes, or hemodynamic instability. The RBBB resolved immediately during recovery. Coronary computed tomography angiography identified a superficial myocardial bridge of the mid-left anterior descending artery without luminal narrowing or atherosclerosis. Discussion: The findings supported a benign, rate dependent conduction delay rather than ischemia. Conclusion: This case illustrates a rare coexistence of MB with exercise-induced RBBB and highlights the importance of recognizing nonischemic conduction phenomena to avoid unnecessary invasive studies.
