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

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is a group of heterogeneous diseases with different pathological mechanisms. It is often under-recognized because of its diverse differential diagnoses like myocarditis, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), coronary microvascular dysfunction, vasospasm, coronary erosion, and embolism. Evaluation with multimodality imaging including intravascular coronary imaging and cardiac magnetic resonance is often necessary to determine the underlying etiology and management. We report a case of MINOCA in Nigeria involving a 55-year-old woman with metabolic syndrome who experienced cardiac arrest following an intra-abdominal procedure with an electrocardiogram (ECG) and biomarkers consistent with myocardial injury but had non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) on angiography. This case underscores the need to consider MINOCA in patients presenting with myocardial infarction and non-obstructive coronary angiogram, particularly those with multiple comorbidities, and the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach to uncover the underlying mechanism. Our report encourages increased clinical index of suspicion of this condition while contributing to the growing body of knowledge of this underdiagnosed clinical entity.
