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

Behcet's disease is a chronic inflammatory syndrome that can affect arteries and veins of all sizes and is an unusual cause of myocardial infarction. We report a case of a 42-year-old male with no cardiovascular risk factors who was referred to our department for a spontaneously resolving anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Clinical and biological investigations revealed a high probability for Behcet's disease. The coronary angiogram showed severe left main artery stenosis with a huge coronary aneurysm of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery, which was treated by aneurysm resection and coronary artery bypass grafting. Inflammatory arteritis should be considered in young patients with low cardiovascular risk presenting with acute coronary syndrome.
