Isolated Idiopathic Aortitis in a Young Female Presenting With Exertional Chest Pain: 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
Aortitis is a general term that describes inflammation of the aorta. In most cases, this inflammation is caused by an autoimmune etiology or an infectious etiology. In some instances, the underlying etiology may not be clear, and the diagnosis given is idiopathic aortitis. Cases of idiopathic aortitis are usually diagnosed based on histopathologic findings. Here, we present a case involving a 31-year-old female presenting with acutely worsening exertional shortness of breath and left-sided chest pain. An echocardiogram revealed a severely reduced ejection fraction with severe aortic regurgitation and diffusely increased aortic intima-media thickness. Bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement was performed with histology, showing findings consistent with aortitis, and the patient received the diagnosis of idiopathic aortitis. This case highlights the need to consider aortitis as a differential in young patients presenting with exertional chest pain and severe aortic insufficiency.
