Sudden death due to giant cell coronary arteritis.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
An 89-year-old woman was found dead lying in her bed. Autopsy demonstrated a pronounced thickening of all coronary arteries except for the first 2-4 cm. Death was due to a recent myocardial infarction. Microscopically, the coronary arteries showed a substantial concentric thickening of all three layers with 90% narrowing. There was a dense transmural inflammatory infiltration with lymphocytes, macrophages, and numerous multinucleated giant cells. The CD68 positive giant cells were mostly located at the media-intima border in the vicinity of fragmented fibers of the lamina elastica interna. The aorta and its major branches including the carotid arteries, however, were free of inflammation and thickening. The findings were characteristic for giant cell arteritis, the equivalent of temporal Horton arteritis, but isolated involvement of the coronary arteries is exceptional.
