Coronary Artery Disease in Female Athletes.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This case series highlights the unique presentation and diagnostic challenges of coronary artery disease (CAD) in female athletes. Despite generally lower prevalence, women may experience atypical symptoms and delays in diagnosis, often due to the under-recognition of risk and subtle clinical signs. We describe 3 cases of CAD among women during different stages of life: a postmenopausal long-distance runner with complex coronary anatomy, a postmenopausal triathlete with severe left anterior descending artery stenosis, and a young climber in her reproductive years with acute coronary syndrome. These cases underscore the importance of thorough evaluation, including advanced imaging such as coronary computed tomography angiography, and reveal how gender-specific factors, menopause, and training patterns influence CAD detection and outcomes. There is a need for tailored, athlete-specific diagnostic algorithms to ensure early identification and management of CAD in women, ultimately reducing gender disparities in cardiovascular care and improving prognosis in female athletes.
