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

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon cause of non-atherosclerotic acute coronary syndrome (ACS) resulting in myocardial ischemia and ventricular wall motion abnormalities (WMA). SCAD and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TC) share a common risk factor profile and clinical characteristics. We report a 55-year-old female patient who presented with chest pain and elevated troponin level. Coronary angiography (CA) showed tortuosity in the first diagonal (D1) artery suspicious of SCAD. Left ventriculogram showed typical apical ballooning of TC. Because of ongoing chest pain during the procedure, we proceeded to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to D1. Intracoronary optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) of D1 showed intramural hematoma extending to proximal LAD and treated with a 2.25 × 12 mm Promus Element drug-eluting stent (DES). Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) showed mid anterolateral, inferolateral, and all apical hypokinesia of LV with preserved basal segments and mildly impaired systolic function. TTE after 3 months showed fully recovered LV systolic function with resolution of WMA. Repeat CA 6 months later demonstrated healing of SCAD and OFDI showed resolution of the intramural hematoma, and cardiac MRI showed normal LV systolic and full-thickness delayed enhancement in only the lateral wall.
