Case Report: Delayed diagnosis: a case of left main coronary artery spasm.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. 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
Left main coronary artery (LMCA) spasm is an exceedingly rare but potentially fatal condition. We present a case of severe stenosis of LMCA found by coronary angiography (CAG) due to recurrent chest pain, and subsequently received coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Nine years later, the patient was readmitted to the hospital because of precordial discomfort. During hospitalization, CAG was performed once again and showed no significant stenosis in the LMCA, leading to the diagnosis of LMCA spasm. This case emphasizes to interventional cardiologists the critical need to consider the possibility of LMCA spasm when diagnosing LMCA lesions. It highlights the importance of thorough and proactive pretreatment and comprehensive clinical judgment to minimize the risk of misdiagnosis.
