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

Congenital coronary artery anomalies are a well-recognized risk factor for sudden cardiac death in children as well as young adults, mostly during or immediately after intense exertion on the athletic field. Because these malformations are amenable to surgical treatment, timely identification is crucial. Unfortunately, antemortem diagnosis is notoriously difficult, partly due to the absence of abnormal test results in routine investigations. We present a 15-year-old boy who collapsed during exercise due to ventricular fibrillation. Coronary abnormalities were initially not identified, but they were clearly visualized by means of an echocardiogram and confirmed by multislice computed tomography. We would like to emphasize that echocardiography is capable of accurately identifying congenital coronary anomalies when attention is paid to the correct diagnostic hallmarks.
