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

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is characterized by intramural hematoma in a coronary artery leading to partial or complete vessel obstruction. A 51-year-old female was hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. She was diagnosed with severe SCAD, affecting the proximal left coronary artery. A complex percutaneous coronary intervention, complicated by cardiac arrest and need for cardio pulmonary support, succeeded with stent insertion and revascularization. In the following days, the patient developed severe heart failure due to extensive cardiac reperfusion injury and subsequently experienced multiple organ failure, ultimately resulting in death. The patient had previously been acutely hospitalized twice with myocardial infarctions and both the times was also diagnosed with SCAD affecting the left coronary artery. This case highlights an unfortunate patient outcome due to recurrent SCAD and serves as an important reminder to consider SCAD differential diagnostically in younger female patients with myocardial infarction.
