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

Vasospastic angina (VSA), also known as Prinzmetal angina, is caused by reversible diffuse or focal vasoconstriction of coronary arteries. It is the most common diagnosis among patients presenting with signs of ischemia but no obstructive coronary artery disease. Patients with VSA can present with typical acute coronary syndrome (ACS) symptoms of chest pain or pressure, dyspnea, diaphoresis, fatigue, and syncope. VSA is a challenging diagnosis for physicians due to its nearly identical clinical presentation to active acute coronary syndrome patients. This report describes a similar diagnosis dilemma when a 69-year-old female presented with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), who was eventually diagnosed with and treated for vasospastic angina.
