Rapidly progressive coronary artery disease as the first manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune multisystem disorder characterised by high incidence of arterial and venous thrombosis. Cardiovascular manifestations also include valvular heart disease, ventricular thrombi and higher risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). In this case report, we describe a 61-year-old woman who had no significant risk factors for CAD, and presented with aggressive disease in native and graft vessels that required multiple coronary interventions. The extent of her aggressive CAD could not be explained by her risk factors profile. Therefore autoantibodies screening was carried out and showed a strongly positive anticardiolipin and β2 glycoprotein-I antibody, and hence a diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome was made.
