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

Here, we present the case of a 59-year-old woman who arrived with pain in her left shoulder and jaw. During her hospital stay, she suffered a cardiac arrest but was successfully resuscitated. She subsequently underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, which revealed a spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in the obtuse marginal branch. Further imaging identified fibromuscular dysplasia affecting the right internal carotid artery, while her renal arteries appeared normal. She later received a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for secondary prevention. This case highlights the importance of considering fibromuscular dysplasia in patients presenting with SCAD, especially those without a prior history of cardiac disease.
