Acute Myocardial Infarction as the First Presentation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in a 23-Year-Old Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in young adults is a rare occurrence that requires a thorough investigation to determine the underlying cause. Herein, a young female patient presented with dull retrosternal chest pain associated with nausea and left arm numbness. Cardiac-specific troponin was elevated and the electrocardiogram revealed ST-segment elevation in the inferior wall leads indicative of myocardial infarction. The patient was started on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and emergency coronary angiography was performed, revealing a 20% stenosis in the left circumflex artery and evidence of a thrombotic lesion in the posterolateral branch (PLB), which was deemed unsuitable for intervention. During the diagnostic workup, the patient tested positive for antinuclear antibodies and was ultimately diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antiphospholipid syndrome. This case highlights the rarity of STEMI as an initial presentation of SLE. It emphasizes the importance of considering autoimmune disorders in young patients with acute myocardial infarction and the need for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate management in such cases.
