Myocardial Bridging and Cardiac Arrest.

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
backgroundMyocardial bridging (MB) is a congenital coronary anomaly in which a segment of an epicardial artery tunnels through the myocardium. Although frequently considered benign, MB has been increasingly linked to ischemia, malignant arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. CASE SUMMARY: We describe a case of a 39-year-old woman with mid-left anterior descending artery MB who presented with sudden chest pain followed by cardiac arrest. Coronary angiography revealed MB without obstructive disease. Despite prolonged resuscitation and hypoxic brain injury, she achieved functional recovery after intensive care. DISCUSSION: We compared our patient with 10 previously published cases of MB-associated cardiac arrest. Patients were typically men with ventricular fibrillation as the universal arrest rhythm, and the left anterior descending artery was most commonly involved, with variable outcomes. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: MB should not be regarded as uniformly benign. Recognition of its malignant potential-particularly in patients with no obstructive coronary disease-is critical for diagnosis, management, and secondary prevention.
