Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection in an Elderly Postmenopausal Nigerian Woman With Recurrent Chest Pain: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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 an unusual etiology of myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death (SCD) with a different pathophysiological mechanism. Often associated with younger women, where the hormonal milieu of estrogen and progesterone has been implicated, postmenopausal SCAD is, however, uncommon with unknown management outcomes. We report the case of a 75-year-old postmenopausal woman presenting with recurrent chest pain, found to have SCAD on coronary angiography, and managed conservatively. We believe this represents one of the earliest documented cases of postmenopausal SCAD in Nigeria diagnosed angiographically. It seeks to enhance local awareness, review current diagnostic and management modalities, and contribute to the expanding body of literature. SCAD can present as acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in young women, where the hormonal milieu has been implicated. Postmenopausal SCAD is, however, uncommon, and a high index of suspicion is essential to prevent adverse outcomes.
