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

Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (PAT) with atrioventricular (AV) block is a rare arrhythmia that can be easily misdiagnosed, yet correct identification is crucial for effective management. This report presents two cases illustrating different etiologies. The first patient, a 78-year-old man on digoxin for heart failure, presented with symptoms including tachycardia and dizziness, with elevated digoxin levels confirming toxicity. Following the withdrawal of digoxin and supportive treatment, sinus rhythm was restored without further intervention. The second case involves a 52-year-old man with hypertension who developed PAT with AV block and hypokalemia following excessive alcohol intake. Treatment with intravenous potassium normalized his rhythm, and he remained arrhythmia-free at follow-up. These cases highlight the importance of identifying underlying causes, such as digitalis toxicity and hypokalemia, in managing PAT with AV block. Accurate diagnosis and individualized therapy are essential for preventing complications and achieving optimal patient outcomes.
