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

Coronary artery plaque rupture, erosion, thrombosis, and dissection account for nearly all acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, coronary artery embolism remains a significant cause of AMI that is essentially unaccounted for. In this report, we present two cases of acute coronary syndrome caused by coronary embolism. Both cases illustrate that patients with atrial fibrillation are at an increased risk of thromboembolic events of the coronary circulation. We highlight the clinical characteristics of atrial fibrillation associated with coronary embolism and present the therapeutic interventions based on our experience and a review of the literature. Given that AMI is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among adults worldwide, it is imperative that practicing clinicians be aware of coronary embolism as a cause of AMI, particularly in high-risk populations such as those with atrial fibrillation.
