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

Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their rarity and potential for serious complications. We report a case of a middle-aged woman who presented with acute coronary syndrome and was found to have an isolated proximal right CAA. An anatomical assessment using intravenous ultrasound, followed by the application of the sandwich technique wherein a drug-eluting stent is used within the covered stent, was performed. This case highlights the importance of anatomical assessment, procedural planning, and evolving interventional techniques to manage non-atherosclerotic causes of acute coronary syndrome, like a CAA.
