Myocardial Bridging in a 37-Year-Old Female Patient: A Case Report and Management Approach.
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
Myocardial bridging is a congenital coronary anomaly in which a segment of a coronary artery travels intramyocardially instead of on the epicardial surface. While often asymptomatic, myocardial bridging can occasionally result in ischemia or arrhythmias. We present the case of a 37-year-old woman with recurrent exertional chest pain and exercise-induced hypotension. Stress testing revealed mild anterior ischemia, and coronary angiography demonstrated a mid-left anterior descending myocardial bridge. Intravascular ultrasound confirmed extensive systolic compression with increased plaque burden at the bridged site. Medical therapy with vasodilators and beta-blockers was not tolerated due to adverse effects, and symptoms persisted. The patient underwent surgical unroofing of the bridged segment, which resulted in complete resolution of chest pain and improved exercise tolerance. This case highlights the role of advanced imaging in the diagnosis of MB and the importance of individualized management when medical therapy fails.
