The Self Sabotaging Vessel: A Case Report and Literature Review of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a very rare cause of acute coronary syndrome. Despite the recent advances in the management of cardiovascular diseases, the diagnoses and management of SCAD remain a dilemma. It has been described to majorly affect females of childbearing age, immediately post-partum or on oral contraceptives. Recent cases have also identified underlying connective tissue disease as a risk factor. Since its discovery, only a limited number of cases affecting males have been reported in the literature. This makes our case unique. In this, we present a 31-year-old male without any traditional risk factors who presented with atypical chest pain. Electrocardiogram showed ST-segment changes with echocardiogram revealing apical left ventricular akinesis. A diagnostic left heart catheterization showed multiple lumens in the distal left anterior descending artery (LAD). The patient was managed conservatively and discharged home on guideline-directed medical therapy.
