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

backgroundCoronary artery vasculitis (CAV) is a relatively rare etiology of coronary artery disease (CAD), which could lead to recurrent complications once treated with coronary stents. However, differentiating between CAV and atherosclerotic CAD is challenging. CASE SUMMARY: Included in this case series were 10 symptomatic patients who were initially considered as having atherosclerotic CAD but were eventually diagnosed with CAV at our center from August 2021 to October 2024. We describe the clinical and imaging characteristics of these patients. DISCUSSION: This case series shows several classic CAV characteristics on coronary computed tomography angiography, raising the awareness of CAV misdiagnosis and highlighting the importance of timely order and dedicated imaging analysis for the diagnosis of CAV. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Coronary computed tomography angiography can provide comprehensive information on plaque characteristics, coronary artery wall abnormalities, and pericoronary inflammation, which can help cardiologists and radiologists differentiate between CAV and atherosclerotic CAD.
