Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries due to a type-A thymoma: A case report.

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
Introduction: Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has become an increasingly recognized subgroup in patients with acute myocardial infarction, with a recent cohort study reporting a prevalence of 8.8%. This report describes a patient who presented with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) due to an incidental anterior mediastinal mass. Case presentation: An 80-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with a chief complaint of progressive shortness of breath associated with retrosternal chest pain for one day duration. Computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the chest was conducted, which revealed an anterior mediastinal mass. Upon admission, the patient developed an acute episode of recurrent severe chest pain, which was diagnosed as an NSTEMI. Emergent cardiac catheterization was performed because of unstable vital signs; however, the results showed no evidence of atherosclerotic changes in the major coronary arteries, compatible with the diagnosis of MINOCA. The mediastinal mass was later confirmed to be a type A thymoma on CT-guided biopsy. Conclusion: Myocardial infarction in patent coronary arteries due to an anterior mediastinal mass is rare. Further studies are needed to standardize the diagnosis and management protocols for the potential etiologies of MINOCA.
