A Rare Case Report of Type II Kounis Syndrome With Literature Review: Acute Anterior ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction Following Bee Sting.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Kounis syndrome (KS), also known as allergic angina, is a rare but serious condition defined by acute coronary syndrome occurring alongside a hypersensitivity reaction. We report the case of a 42-year-old male smoker who developed Type II KS after a hymenoptera sting. The patient came to the emergency department with a sudden decreased level of consciousness and retrosternal chest pain. Electrocardiography showed ST-segment elevation in the anterior leads, and coronary angiography revealed total proximal left anterior descending artery occlusion. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed successfully. Echocardiography documented a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 35% with regional wall motion abnormalities, indicating significant myocardial injury. The patient was discharged with a treatment plan that included valsartan, spironolactone, bisoprolol, ticagrelor, acetylsalicylic acid, and atorvastatin. This case highlights the diagnostic and treatment challenges of KS and stresses the need for early recognition and a team-based approach to achieve better clinical results.
