Recurrent Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) With a Family History of Cardiovascular Disease: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome and is often associated with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). We describe the case of a 55-year-old woman with a prior history of SCAD who presented with acute chest pain. Angiography revealed a new dissection in the diagonal branch of the left anterior descending artery with preserved flow, but her condition worsened with recurrent pain and ischemic electrocardiographic changes, ultimately requiring intra-aortic balloon pump support. She stabilized and was discharged on medical therapy, with plans for further evaluation of possible FMD. This case highlights the clinical complexity of recurrent SCAD, the importance of considering family history in risk assessment, and the challenges of management, particularly regarding revascularization strategies versus conservative therapy. Given the association between SCAD and FMD, screening for underlying arteriopathies is crucial. Recognition of recurrent SCAD in patients with few traditional cardiovascular risk factors is essential for timely diagnosis, appropriate management, and risk stratification.
