Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection and Its Management: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We illustrate a notable case of an elderly male presenting to a community hospital with six out of 10 substernal chest discomfort and electrocardiogram changes consistent with an anterolateral myocardial infarction. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) was initiated following aspirin and anticoagulation administration, which further revealed a critical distal left main spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery consults led to the recommendation of emergent two-vessel Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). The patient's clinical status resolved to full recovery and was discharged on postoperative day five. The incidence of SCAD in older men has not been well documented in current literature. Prevalence in older males is 0.02%. However, it rises to 10.8% in females less than 50 years of age and with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and ST-segment elevation. Our aim is to incorporate this case report into the current literature and help improve early diagnosis and treatment based on current recommendations.
