Coronary Artery Ectasia Presenting as ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: An Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Strategy and Case-Based Review.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is characterized by abnormal, localized, or diffuse dilatation of the coronary vasculature and is an increasingly recognized anatomical entity encountered during coronary angiography. Although often associated with atherosclerosis, the exact pathogenesis of CAE remains unknown; hence, an optimal management strategy is difficult to establish and remains highly controversial due to a lack of high-quality randomized controlled trial evidence. Current therapeutic modalities include medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and surgical options. We present a review, supported by a representative case of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in a patient with CAE, as a systematic summary of the clinical and angiographic features of the condition. We discuss contemporary treatment approaches, especially how to navigate antithrombotic strategies and the role of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI.
