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

A 76-year-old male with a history of gastritis, gastric ulcer perforation, hypertension, and active smoking presented with recurrent chest pain, abdominal pain, and back pain. Workup excluded acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection, and mesenteric ischemia. CT angiography revealed severe proximal celiac trunk stenosis, an ectatic descending thoracic aorta, bilateral renal cysts, emphysema, and a hepatic hypodensity. Further evaluation demonstrated non-obstructive coronary disease, possibly related to endothelial dysfunction. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of back pain and chest pain in elderly patients with other comorbidities, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing incidental vascular findings from clinically significant pathology. A multidisciplinary approach involving cardiology, vascular surgery, gastroenterology, pulmonology, and nutrition services was required to optimize care.
