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

backgroundSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is now recognized as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which is thought to be more prevalent in women. However, the male patients, on the other hand, cannot be easily ignored. CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old male suffered from SCAD that occurred in the left main coronary artery (LMCA) and a secondary acute myocardial infraction (AMI). Coronary CT angiography and coronary angiography (CAG) revealed aneurysms in the LMCA and right coronary artery (RCA), as well as a total occlusion in the proximal branch of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Along with drug therapy, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery was recommended, and the patient has been symptom-free for one year.

conclusionWe report a case of spontaneous left main coronary artery dissection that occurred in a young male. The necessity of identifying typical imaging features and following up patients with SCAD for life to reduce the risk of fatal cardiac complications cannot be overstated.
