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

A 34-year-old female with a past medical history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and a deep venous thrombosis experienced substernal chest pain for 24 hours. Her physical exam was remarkable for brown macular rash over the face. Her initial electrocardiogram showed ST depression in lead V3-V6 along with an elevated troponin I level of 1.23 ng/dl (normal 0.0-0.4) that increased to 2.33 ng/dl in a four-hour duration. Cardiac catheterization revealed mild 10-20% focal plaque in the mid left anterior descending artery and otherwise normal coronary arteries. Laboratory data revealed an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 98 mm/hour (normal 1-20), C-reactive protein of 25 mg/L (normal 0.0-2.9), and positive antinuclear antibody. In the absence of a significant coronary atherosclerosis along with elevated inflammatory markers, inflammation of coronary microcirculation was considered as an underlying pathophysiology of myocardial infarction. The patient was started on immunosuppression therapy with hydroxychloroquine and prednisone. Her chest pain improved and she was discharged in a stable condition. The patient remained stable and symptom-free over a follow-up period of nine months.
