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

Background: Coronary artery vasospasm (CAS) is an important, yet under-recognized cause of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Case summary: A 51-year-old male presented with an out of hospital ventricular fibrillation (VF) arrest. Coronary angiography with intravascular imaging revealed unobstructed epicardial coronary arteries and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRi) demonstrated a structurally normal heart with no evidence of fibrosis or myocardial oedema. High-sensitivity troponin I was elevated, confirming acute myocardial injury consistent with a working diagnosis of MINOCA. Subsequent comprehensive coronary function testing (CFT) demonstrated significant spasm fulfilling all three COVADIS diagnostic criteria for definitive epicardial CAS, and timely endotype specific medical therapy was instituted. Discussion: This case highlights the importance of considering CAS in unexplained cardiac arrest. Specific disease endotyping allows a stratified and personalized medical treatment regimen to enhance clinical outcomes and prevent recurrences.
