1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 increasingly recognised cause of acute coronary syndrome predominantly affecting women (>90% of cases) that is frequently associated with other arteriopathies, such as fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and migraine. We present a case of multi-vessel SCAD in a woman in her 40s presenting with myocardial infarction in whom incidental widespread FMD was found, including a massive right renal artery aneurysm requiring ex vivo resection, repair and autotransplantation. The case underscores the need for routine angiographic screening for FMD, which has a shared genetic risk with SCAD, and is associated with aneurysms, stenoses and hypertension.
