Cervical Angina as a Cause of Non-Cardiac Chest Pain: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Cervical angina is a form of non-cardiac chest pain that originates in the cervical spine or cervical cord; it is an under-recognized and easily underdiagnosed condition. Patients with cervical angina often report delayed diagnosis. Here, we report the case of a 62-year-old woman with a history of cervical spondylosis and undiagnosed recurrent chest pain who presented with numbness in the left upper arm and was diagnosed with cervical angina. Although most cases of cervical angina involve uncommon self-limited diseases that improve with conservative treatment, timely diagnosis can reduce patient anxiety and unnecessary office visits and tests. The critical aspect of chest pain evaluation is to rule out fatal disease. Once fatal disease is ruled out, cervical angina should be considered in differential diagnosis if there is a history of cervical spine disease, if the pain radiates to the arm, if it is elicited by cervical spine range of motion or upper extremity movement, or if the chest pain lasts less than a few seconds.
