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

backgroundAlthough rare, thyrotoxicosis can precipitate anginal symptoms secondary to coronary vasospasm. CASE SUMMARY: A woman presented in early pregnancy with new-onset retrosternal chest pain associated with nausea, vomiting, palpitations, and dyspnea. Further investigations revealed non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction secondary to coronary vasospasm owing to thyrotoxicosis. She was managed conservatively to restore euthyroidism with slow resolution of vasospasm. DISCUSSION: Although the link between elevated thyroid hormone and coronary vasospasm is known, its occurrence during pregnancy is not well-documented. Likely a combination of pregnancy physiology, thyrotoxicosis, and coronary anatomical variance contributed to this severe case of coronary vasospasm. We highlight the importance of timely investigations and conservative management strategies during pregnancy. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Coronary vasospasm should be considered early for patients with anginal symptoms and a history of hyperthyroidism. Conservative management to restore euthyroidism should be recognized as the standard of care when treating pregnant women with this condition.
