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

backgroundSpontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare, non-atherosclerotic cause of acute coronary syndrome that predominantly affects young, healthy women without conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Reporting such cases is essential to raise awareness of their variable presentation and diagnostic challenges, particularly when initial findings are unremarkable. CASE PRESENTATION: We discuss a case of SCAD in a 37-year-old Iranian woman with no prior medical history or cardiovascular risk factors. The patient was initially presented with non-specific symptoms and a normal ECG. Her condition rapidly progressed to cardiogenic shock, complicated by ventricular arrhythmias, necessitating intensive medical management and hemodynamic support. Coronary angiography confirmed SCAD. Following multidisciplinary care, her cardiac function gradually improved, and the patient was discharged with close follow-up.

conclusionsThis case highlights the necessity for clinicians to consider SCAD in young female patients presenting with chest pain, even in the absence of classic risk factors or abnormal initial investigations. Early recognition and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for optimizing outcomes in this rare yet potentially life-threatening condition.
