Acute Myocardial Infarction in a Young Woman: Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Establishing the Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Evaluation of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in young women presents a clinical challenge. An unremarkable coronary angiogram may not exclude ACS, as spontaneous lesion revascularization, resolved coronary spams, or spontaneous coronary dissection (SCAD) can often be missed. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can provide useful information in acute myocardial infarction (MI) by confirming and sizing acute infarction and delineating the etiology when angiography is inconclusive. Here, we report a case of a 39-year-old postpartum woman with a history of hyperlipidemia who presented with a one-day history of atypical angina. On presentation, she was found to have transient ST-segment elevation in high lateral leads and elevated troponin. Coronary angiography revealed a nonobstructive lesion in the first obtuse marginal branch (OM1) distribution. The patient subsequently underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for further delineation of etiology, which confirmed acute infarction in the OM1 distribution. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) secondary to acute coronary artery dissection type 2 (SCAD-2) was made. The patient was managed conservatively with medical therapy. CMR has emerged as a front-line diagnostic imaging modality in acute MI and can provide invaluable information in the confirmation and sizing of infarction, delineating tissue characteristics, establishing the etiology of infarction, and prognostication.
