Thermal Imaging-Guided Surgical Unroofing of a Myocardial Bridge in a Patient With Refractory Angina.

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
Myocardial bridging (MB), a congenital coronary anomaly, can lead to dynamic systolic compression of the coronary arteries, resulting in myocardial ischemia and refractory angina. Although MB is often benign, significant cases require tailored interventions. This case report describes a unique approach using thermal imaging to guide surgical unroofing in a 46-year-old man with Behçet disease and refractory angina. The integration of thermal angiography facilitated precise localization and treatment, resulting in significant symptom improvement postoperatively. This innovative application of thermal imaging highlights its potential to enhance surgical precision and improve outcomes in the management of complex MB cases.
