Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Sex Differences in Clinical Presentation and Outcomes From the Australian New Zealand Registry.
Observational study in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) predominantly affects women with limited data in men. We aimed to determine sex differences in SCAD presentation, associated conditions, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
methodsCohort study of 23 ANZ-SCAD sites (Australian/New Zealand Registry, data previously published) with core laboratory confirmed SCAD. Descriptive statistics for sex differences. Interaction analysis with Cox proportional hazards model assessed the effect of sex on previously published independent predictors of MACE.
resultsOf a total of 527 patients with SCAD, 468 (88.8%) were female. Mean age was similar, at 53.5±10.6 in women and 52.2±10.7 in men. Women had higher rates of hypertension (30.6% versus 16.9% men,
conclusionsWomen with SCAD had higher rates of hypertension, coronary tortuosity, and FMD, whereas men had more non-FMD vascular abnormalities. Self-reported emotional stress was common, equally prevalent in women and men. Anticoagulation, dual antiplatelet therapy, FMD, and previous stroke were independent predictors of MACE in both women and men.
