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 spasm (CAS), a known cause of myocardial ischemia that can present as variant angina, is primarily triggered by intraoperative catheter manipulation. Evidence for a genetic predisposition to coronary artery spasm is scarce. This report describes a case involving identical twins with no conventional cardiovascular risk factors who successively developed CAS. Their coronary angiograms showed spontaneous spasm in left main coronary artery, left circumflex branch artery and left anterior descending artery. This case provides clinical evidence for a genetic predisposition to CAS, highlighting the critical need for familial screening-particularly the proactive screening of the other twin when one monozygotic twin is diagnosed with vasospastic angina.
