Case Report: Not a Mediastinal Mass! a Ruptured Giant Coronary Aneurysm That Occurred in a Young Man.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a localized coronary artery dilatation that exceeds 1. 5 times the diameter of a standard adjacent segment or the largest coronary vessel. When the expansion is > 2 cm, it is called a "giant" coronary artery aneurysm. Giant coronary artery aneurysm rupture is extremely rare and fatal. Case presentation: We present a rare case of a 27 years old male with a giant coronary artery aneurysm rupture, but no catastrophic events occurred immediately. He was initially misdiagnosed as having a mediastinal mass with CT (computed tomography). The cardiac ultrasound showed no pericardial effusion. But The cardiac CTA (computed tomography angiography) showed a giant coronary aneurysm rupture with hematoma formation. He eventually underwent surgery and was followed up for 2 months without complications. Conclusion: We report this case of a ruptured giant coronary aneurysm because of its infrequent occurrence in coronary artery disease. It is tough to distinguish this disease from a mediastinal tumor, and chest MRI and cardiac CTA are crucial tests. Finally, surgical resection may be the right choice for coronary aneurysm rupture. More cases need to be reported to facilitate the preoperative diagnosis of this rare coronary aneurysm.
