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

Prinzmetal variant angina is characterized by episodic chest pain associated with transient ST changes seen on an electrocardiogram (EKG). A 51-year-old female with a pertinent history of non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) twice, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), Prinzmetal angina, ventricular tachycardia s/p implantable cardioverter-defibrillator placement, and gastroesophageal reflux disease presented with 2.5 hours of left-sided chest pain with radiation to the left arm. Her initial EKG was not revealing. However, a subsequent EKG showed ST elevations in the inferior leads. A coronary angiogram was performed and revealed distal right coronary artery spasm that was relieved with intracoronary nitroglycerin. The nature of her chest pain in conjunction with her EKG and angiogram findings helped diagnose her with Prinzmetal angina that was significant enough to result in a STEMI. Thus, Prinzmetal angina and STEMI can be interconnected rather than being separate, mutually exclusive pathologies.
