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
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease which typically presents in young women. Patients with SLE exhibit features of accelerated atherosclerosis. Here, the present study reported a rare case of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a male patient diagnosed with SLE. A 29-year-old male with no cardiovascular history was diagnosed with AMI and underwent coronary angiography, which showed a long-extended spiral-shaped dissection of the right coronary artery (RCA). The patient's autoimmune panel tested positive for antinuclear, anti-nuclear ribonucleoprotein/Smith and anti-Sjogren's syndrome A antibodies. The patient was diagnosed with SLE and was administered prednisone, hydroxychloroquine and calcium carbonate therapy. At the 3-month follow-up, a repeat coronary angiography showed no dissection in the RCA. Intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography also showed an isolated atherosclerotic lesion without arterial dissection in the RCA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a male patient with SLE who developed myocardial infarction caused by spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). The present report may provide new insights into possible future treatments for SCAD. SCAD should be considered in patients with SLE and AMI, particularly in young patients without cardiovascular risk factors. Early diagnosis of SCAD is important to provide accurate therapy that differs from the treatment of AMI caused by atherosclerosis.
