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

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is more common than previously thought and is present in up to 4% of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome. SCAD predominantly occurs in relatively young women and is an important cause of myocardial infarction in young patients without traditional risk factors of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. There have been substantial improvements in spatial and temporal resolution and reduction in ionizing radiation dose with new generation scanners. The risk of dissection propagation with an invasive coronary angiogram, improved CT scanner parameters, and predominantly conservative management of SCAD make coronary CT angiography a useful noninvasive imaging modality for the assessment of SCAD. © RSNA, 2020.
