Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: An Updated Comprehensive Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is defined as a non-iatrogenic, non-traumatic separation of the coronary artery wall, which has gained considerable recognition as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome. Despite the emerging evidence, it is still frequently missed and requires a high index of suspicion, as failure to accurately identify SCAD promptly could prove fatal. SCAD is most prevalent among middle-aged women, although it can also be found in men and postmenopausal women. Risk factors of SCAD include exogenous hormone use, physical and emotional stressors, pregnancy, and several inflammatory and connective tissue disorders. COVID-19 also contributes to the prevalence of SCAD. SCAD is classified into four main types based on the angiographic findings - type 1, type 2, type 3, and type 4. The gold standard for diagnosis is coronary angiography; however, intracardiac imaging is useful if diagnostic doubts persist. Despite the increasing recognition of this disease, there is a paucity in the guidelines on the management of SCAD. Management may be conservative, medical, or interventional. Cardiac rehabilitation is also necessary in the management of patients with SCAD. In light of the gaps in evidence, the authors aim to provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature, outlining the pathophysiology, classification, and, most importantly, the evidence and pitfalls circulating diagnosis, acute, and long-term management of SCAD.
