Premature Acute Myocardial Infarction in a Competitive Athlete: Exploring the Potential Impact of Omega-3/Omega-6 Ratio.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundAcute myocardial infarction is increasing in younger adults. Epidemiologic studies suggest a low Omega-3/Omega-6 ratio may contribute to cardiac events. Athletes on a Western diet and high training loads have reduced Omega-3/Omega-6 ratios. CASE SUMMARY: A 29-year-old man with an unremarkable medical history experienced cardiac arrest during a soccer match. Coronary angiography revealed an atherosclerotic plaque occluding the proximal left anterior descending artery, treated with 2 drug-eluting stents. The patient was admitted to intensive care; brain death was declared the next day. No cardiovascular risk factors were identified, except for a reduced Omega-3/Omega-6 ratio. DISCUSSION: A young athlete without classical risk factors but with a low Omega-3/Omega-6 ratio developed unstable coronary disease. This association warrants further investigation. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: This case highlights the potential role of Omega-3/Omega-6 ratios in cardiovascular risk in young athletes and underscores the importance of performing immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation before advanced medical services arrive.
