MINOCA: under recognized and affecting predominantly female patients-an Australian experience.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMyocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is now being recognized as an important clinical entity with prognostic implications. There are limited data in relation to MINOCA in our local Australian settings.
aimWe investigated the prevalence, clinical characteristics, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and 1-year mortality of patients with MINOCA at Peninsula Health.
methodA single-center retrospective study of all adult patients aged ≥ 18 years who underwent invasive angiography from January 2018 to June 2020 was identified from medical records. We included patients who met the definition of MINOCA as per the 2019 AHA Statement. A simple descriptive statistical analysis was performed.
resultsThe prevalence of MINOCA at Peninsula Health was 10.9% (131/1199) with a median age of 62 (IQR 53-74). Female patients were predominant, comprising 64% (84/131) of these patients. Chest pain was the most common symptom in 92.3% (121/131) and 58.8% (77/131) had ECG changes. A total of 81% (106/131) had a normal left ventricular systolic function and 47% of patients (66/139) had no luminal disease on invasive angiography. A total of 15.9% (23/144) of patients with an initial working diagnosis of MINOCA were referred for CMR on discharge. MACE was 5.2% (6/115) over a median follow-up of 23 months. The all-cause mortality rate at 1 year was 0.7% (1/131).
conclusionThe clinical prevalence rate of MINOCA at Peninsula Health is 10.9% with a MACE of 5.2%. MINOCA is recognized and the low rate of additional testing could be improved given the female predominance and prognostic implications.
