Giant Left Main Coronary Artery Aneurysms Presenting as STEMI.

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
backgroundGiant coronary aneurysms are rare and may present with acute myocardial infarction, posing significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of a 45-year-old woman residing in a high-altitude region who presented with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Initial management included thrombolysis and transfer for rescue angiography, which revealed a giant fusiform aneurysm of the left main coronary artery with thrombotic occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending artery. Additional aneurysms and ectasia were identified in other coronary vessels. Computed tomography confirmed the findings. Surgical resection and revascularization were proposed but were declined by her. She died 6 months later, likely from cardiac causes. DISCUSSION: This case illustrates the importance of multimodality imaging in characterizing giant coronary aneurysms and highlights the complexity of tailoring management strategies in rare, high-risk presentations. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Multimodality imaging is essential for diagnosis and treatment planning, and management should be individualized through a multidisciplinary approach.
