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 ectasia (CAE), whether it is diffuse or localized, is an uncommon finding. It is sparsely documented, especially by post-mortem imaging and histology. In this article, we will describe two cases of sudden cardiac death secondary to coronary thrombosis in the context of CAE. The cause of death was myocardial infarction in both cases. Diagnosis was based on post-mortem computed tomography angiography, forensic autopsy, and histological examination, offering a rare and complete illustration of the disease.
