Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection in a Patient With a Single Coronary Artery.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 an uncommon non-atherosclerotic etiology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) characterized by the formation of a false lumen inside the arterial wall, resulting in sudden occlusion of blood flow without any trauma or intervention. The pathogenesis of SCAD is not completely understood, and the association between coronary artery anomalies and SCAD remains unclear. This case study reports a unique occurrence of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in a 43-year-old female patient. NSTEMI is caused by spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) that affects the posterior descending artery (PDA) in the setting of a single coronary artery. This is a very rare subtype of coronary artery anomaly, in which the right coronary artery (RCA) gives rise to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and left circumflex artery (LCx). The patient was managed conservatively, considering the extent of myocardial involvement and the resolution of symptoms. This congenital anomaly may have been the primary predisposing factor for SCAD development. Further research is required to determine the correlation between coronary artery anomalies and SCAD.
