Evaluate gender differences in patients with left main coronary artery disease.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 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
backgroundLeft main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) is a potentially life-threatening situation. The medical treatment of LMCAD can lead to critical cardiovascular events. The association between LMCAD and gender has been studied in the medical field.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at Imam Hossein Hospital in Tehran. At the beginning of the project, patient files were collected for 6,250 individuals who presented with heart complaints between 2016 and 2021 and underwent angiography examinations. These files were reviewed, and patients diagnosed with left main coronary artery disease during the angiography were identified.
resultsAfter reviewing 6,250 angiography results from 2016 to 2021, it was found that 274 patients had significant stenosis in the left main coronary artery, resulting in a prevalence of LMCAD of 4.38%. The mean age of the 274 patients with LMCAD was 65.98 ± 10.29 years, and 22.63% of them had premature CAD. Males constituted 75.18% of the group, with 25.18% being smokers. Common comorbidities included hypertension (51.82%), diabetes (42.70%), and chronic kidney disease (13.50%). The gender-based analysis highlighted variations, with women being older on average (P = 0.007), more likely to have premature left main involvement (P = 0.011), and exhibiting lower rates of smoking (P < 0.001) and chronic kidney diseases (P = 0.013) but higher prevalence of hypertension (P < 0.001) and diabetes (P = 0.011) compared to men.
conclusionOur findings showed that these gender-specific differences are crucial for tailored management strategies in patients with left main coronary artery disease. Further research is needed to optimize outcomes for this high-risk population.
