Rupturing Abdominal Aneurysm Presenting as Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 61-year-old male presented to the emergency ward with pain in his upper abdomen. Due to an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) and elevated cardiac enzymes the cardiologist was consulted to exclude cardiac pathology. The consulting cardiologist advised to exclude an abdominal diagnosis before treating the condition as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Before noninvasive imaging had been performed, the clinical situation deteriorated and an emergency laparotomy revealed a ruptured aortic aneurysm. Despite immediate revascularization multiple organ failure ensued and the patient died a few days later. This case illustrates that the suspicion of ACS should never delay the investigation of other life-threatening disorders. Contrarily angina, ECG abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia are all well known to concur with major vascular, intra-abdominal, intra-cranial, and pulmonary pathology; hence these other life-threatening conditions should always be considered and preferably be ruled out prior to further investigation and treatment of ACS.
