Heart transplantation after acute myocardial infarction due to focal coronary Takayasu arteritis: a case report.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 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
Background: Takayasu arteritis is a chronic vasculitis of unknown aetiology primarily affecting medium to large arteries, particularly the aorta and arch vessels, and is predominantly seen in younger patients. Coronary artery involvement has been reported in 10-45% of autopsy cases, but isolated coronary Takayasu arteritis is extremely rare. Case summary: This case report describes the course of a previously healthy 22-year-old woman who suffered an acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock requiring temporary mechanical support subsequently urgent heart transplantation. The patient was bridged to transplant by the use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). The explanted heart showed evidence of Takayasu arteritis in the left coronary artery. Discussion: The case illustrates the importance of VA-ECMO treatment for cardiogenic shock, the importance of the Scandiatransplant collaboration for urgent organ allocation and the diagnostic difficulties associated with Takayasu arteritis.
