Management of a Patient With Myocardial Infarction With Non-obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) Secondary to Myopericarditis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
The diagnosis and management of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) presents a formidable challenge to clinicians due to its multifaceted etiologies and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Etiologies encompass a spectrum including myopericarditis, coronary vasospasm, microvascular diseases, coronary artery embolism, and takotsubo syndrome, among others. Despite its clinical significance, leading medical organizations need more consensus guidelines delineating the optimal approach to MINOCA diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. In this case report, we elucidate a complex case of a 65-year-old male devoid of significant cardiovascular history who presented with characteristic chest pain, ST-segment elevation on electrocardiography, and markedly elevated troponin levels. Coronary angiography revealed non-obstructive coronary vessels, posing a diagnostic conundrum. Subsequent literature reviews of advanced imaging modalities such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and coronary angiography with cardiac biopsy were noted to be pivotal in elucidating the specific etiology of MINOCA, which otherwise posed a diagnostic challenge. Ultimately, the patient was diagnosed with MINOCA secondary to myopericarditis, underscoring the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach in such cases. This case underscores the critical role of advanced imaging techniques in delineating the underlying pathology of MINOCA and emphasizes the necessity for individualized management strategies tailored to the specific etiology. Furthermore, we discuss potential strategies for optimizing the diagnostic workup and discharge planning following coronary angiography in patients with MINOCA.
