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

Simultaneous Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) involving multiple coronary arteries is an exceptionally rare occurrence. We present a unique case of a 55-year-old woman with no known cardiovascular risk factors who presented with severe chest pain and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Coronary angiography revealed simultaneous SCAD in both the Right Coronary Artery (RCA) and the Circumflex (Cx) artery, an unprecedented finding. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the RCA and received medical therapy for the Cx artery. The three-month follow-up demonstrated the disappearance of SCAD in the Cx artery and patent stents in the RCA, indicating positive patient outcomes. This case highlights the complexity of SCAD and the importance of individualized treatment strategies.
