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

Native coronary artery spasm is a very rare complication during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. We report the case of a 74-year-old man who experienced angiographically documentated right coronary artery spasm while undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting on the diseased left coronary system. Despite two episodes of ventricular fibrillation and persistent ST segment elevation of the posterior wall, the off-pump procedure was successfully completed by grafting the left internal thoracic artery to the left anterior descending artery and a saphenous vein graft to the Ramus intermedius. The immediate postoperatively performed coronary angiography demonstrated patent anastomoses and two areas of significant spasticity within the course of the right coronary artery. Intracoronary nitroglycerin infusion into the ostium of the right coronary artery resolved the spasms of this nondiseased vessel as well as the associated ST segment elevations.
