Wellen's syndrome caused by severe ostial stenosis of the left main coronary artery: a case report.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundWellen's syndrome may indicate severe stenosis or even occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. It may progress to acute myocardial infarction. Early recognition and an early invasive strategy are critical to avoiding impending myocardial injury. To our knowledge, only one case of Wellen's electrocardiogram patterns caused by left main coronary artery (LM) lesions has been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old man with a history of hypertension and smoking presented to the emergency department complaining of paroxysmal chest pain for the preceding 6 days. In the present case, the T-wave symmetric inversions in the V2 and V3 leads is associated with severe ostial stenosis of LM, which appears similar to Wellen's type B pattern.
conclusionsPractitioners should familiarize themselves with such uncommon LM lesions patterns and perform emergent reperfusion therapy.
