Acute coronary syndrome caused by extrinsic coronary compression from an aortic root abscess in a patient with mechanical aortic valve endocarditis: a case report and literature review.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundExtrinsic coronary compression is an extremely rare complication of aortic root abscess formation and can manifest as an acute coronary syndrome in infective endocarditis. Optimal management strategies are unknown and therefore illustrative case reports may be informative. CASE SUMMARY: We describe a 63-year-old man with a background history of a mechanical aortic valve who developed sepsis due to DISCUSSION: We describe a case where percutaneous coronary intervention and emergency surgery was used to treat extrinsic compression from an aortic root abscess; a complication that is associated with a high mortality. This is also a rare case of
