Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Associated With Infertility Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Assisted conception involving hormonals is a risk factor for spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), and pregnant women with spontaneous coronary artery dissection are more likely to have had treatment for subfertility. Increasingly, there is a risk of maternal death in women after assisted conception, and so, the need to assess the cardiovascular sequelae after assisted conception is imperative. This is an illustrative case of spontaneous coronary artery dissection shortly after a repeat cycle of in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The aetiology of spontaneous coronary artery dissection is believed to be multi-factorial, affecting mostly young women, a population similar to women requiring assisted conception. The oestrogen and progesterone used in in vitro fertilisation are believed to trigger structural weakening in the coronary blood vessels, leading to vascular rupture. Repeat in vitro fertilisation cycles and successful conception are thought to increase spontaneous coronary artery dissection risk by increasing hormonal exposure. The management of spontaneous coronary artery dissection is dependent on if pregnancy has been achieved or not, and a multi-disciplinary approach to its management is essential. More research is needed to identify women at higher risk of this life-threatening event.
