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

A single coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of 0.02-0.04%. We report on a 65-year-old male presenting with atypical chest pain and a history of hypertension and hypercholesterinemia, having diagnosed a very rare variant of a single coronary artery arising from the right sinus of Valsalva continuing as circumflex coronary artery (LCX) and thereafter as left anterior descending artery (LAD). Because the patient was asymptomatic on antiischemic medication and had a proposed relative benign course, we recommended medical treatment without coronary artery bypass surgery, and the patient has been in fine condition up to now (11 months after angiography).
