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

backgroundMyocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is defined by the presence of the universal acute myocardial infarction criteria in the absence of obstructive disease on angiography. Multimodal imaging can be invaluable in determining the underlying etiology of MINOCA. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is among the most common etiologies. CASE SUMMARY: This report describes a case of unrecognized/asymptomatic myocardial infarction due to SCAD in an active 62-year-old woman whose care was facilitated by comprehensive evaluation of MINOCA. DISCUSSION: Pericoronary fat attenuation indexing (FAI) has yet to be extensively studied in the setting of MINOCA. Initial studies suggest elevated pericoronary FAI in MINOCA and SCAD, providing introductory evidence that vascular insult increases coronary artery inflammation appreciably via pericoronary FAI. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case report further substantiates that claim and demonstrates that coronary computed tomography angiography with pericoronary FAI may prove useful in working up MINOCA.
