Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection in a 49-Year-Old Woman Following Sexual Activity: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare but significant cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly among middle-aged women. Unlike atherosclerotic ACS, SCAD is characterized by the separation of the coronary artery wall layers, leading to intramural hematoma formation and potential myocardial infarction. While SCAD is often associated with emotional or physical stressors, its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, with hormonal, genetic, and arteriopathic factors playing significant roles. Here, we present a case of a 49-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, obesity, and prediabetes who developed SCAD following sexual activity. She presented with acute chest pain, ST-segment elevations, and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Coronary angiography confirmed a type 2 SCAD involving the left anterior descending artery, left main, and left circumflex arteries. Conservative management with temporary mechanical circulatory support was pursued due to reduced LVEF. This case underscores the importance of recognizing SCAD in atypical presentations and highlights the role of conservative management strategies to optimize patient outcomes.
