Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) Presenting as Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) During Menstruation in a Hypertensive Woman: A Case Report of Menstrual Hormonal Fluctuations as a Potential Trigger.

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 an uncommon, non-atherosclerotic cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that primarily affects younger women. We describe the case of a 33-year-old woman with hypertension who presented with acute chest pain during menstruation and was diagnosed with SCAD by coronary angiography. Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle have been postulated to contribute to the pathogenesis of SCAD through transient alterations in vascular wall integrity and arterial stability in susceptible individuals. This report highlights the need for heightened clinical suspicion of SCAD in young women presenting with chest pain, particularly in the presence of hypertension and potential hormonal triggers.
