Rare Coronary Embolism Secondary to Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
The diagnosis and management of myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) are difficult due to its variable presentations, different causes, and challenging diagnostic approaches. Cardiac imaging modalities including cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) are very useful tools for diagnosing and managing MINOCA. Myocardial infarction (MI) can be caused by coronary emboli that can be contributed to atrial fibrillation (AF). Rarely, coronary embolism with resultant MINOCA can occur after direct current cardioversion (DCCV) even in fully anticoagulated patients. We present a rare case of a coronary embolism following DCCV as well as a CMR finding of microvascular obstruction (MVO), which has not previously been reported after DCCV. This case also emphasizes the value of obtaining a CMR for patients with MINOCA.
