The History of Coronary Artery Disease.
Review in The International journal of angiology : official publication of the International College of Angiology, Inc, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide and although often considered a modern disease its origins trace back to ancient civilizations. This historical review explores the evolution of understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of CAD. It will discuss early evidence of atherosclerosis in mummies through pioneers in the field of medical and surgical understanding to innovative surgical and interventional advances in the modern era. The progression of medical therapies, including the discovery and utilization of digitalis, nitrates, aspirin, beta blockers, and statins, is discussed alongside the evolution of catheter-based and surgical interventions such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Future therapies will be briefly discussed. Despite remarkable progress, CAD remains a major public health challenge, emphasizing the importance of continued innovation in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Understanding the historical trajectory of CAD provides critical insights for shaping the future of cardiovascular medicine.
