1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Myocardial bridging (MB) is a condition where the coronary artery is intramural instead of its natural course through the epicardium. Here, we present a case of a 25-year-old male without any medical history who presented with intermittent substernal chest discomfort on exertion. EKG was suggestive of ST changes in leads V1-V4 with right axis deviation. A left heart catheterization revealed myocardial bridging of the midportion of the left anterior descending artery. Myocardial bridging is commonly not associated with severe complications. However, it is imperative to diagnose it appropriately, especially in cases of chest pain, and provide immediate treatment to prevent mortality and morbidity.
