Unconventional treatment of a giant coronary aneurysm presenting as ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a case report.
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 3 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
backgroundThe optimal treatment of aneurysmal or ectatic culprit vessels in the setting of acute myocardial infarction is still matter of debate, as revascularization with either percutaneous intervention or surgery is associated with low procedural success and poor outcomes. CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of a 55-year-old male patient, admitted for inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction, who underwent successful percutaneous implantation of a micro-mesh self-expanding nitinol carotid stent in a right coronary aneurysm with intravascular ultrasonography measured diameter of 9 mm and massive thrombus apposition. DISCUSSION: The technical characteristics of the micro-mesh self-expanding nitinol carotid stent allow for adequate plaque coverage and good apposition even in large vessels, making this device particularly suitable for the treatment of coronary lesions with high thrombus burden, when severe coronary ectasia or aneurysms are present.
