Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection in the Setting of Marijuana: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
This case report presents a detailed examination of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in a 61-year-old Middle Eastern male with a history of marijuana use and essential hypertension. The patient's emergency presentation with loss of consciousness and subsequent diagnostics - including elevated troponins and distinctive electrocardiogram changes - led to the identification of extensive SCAD affecting multiple coronary arteries. The association between marijuana use and cardiovascular pathology is focal in this study, particularly considering the patient's positive test for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and significant smoking history. This case highlights the critical need for heightened awareness among clinicians regarding the implications of recreational marijuana use, particularly in individuals with predisposing cardiovascular risk factors. Furthermore, it illustrates the complexity of diagnosing and managing SCAD, a condition that may vary widely in its presentation and severity, necessitating a tailored approach to treatment that considers both the acute manifestations and underlying contributory factors such as substance use.
