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

introductionAn anomalous origin and course of the right coronary artery (RCA)(1) is a very rare congenital anomaly that can be fatal if it remains undiscovered. PRESENTATION OF CASE: In this case report, we present a patient with a one-year history of exercise-induced angina and dyspnea caused by anomalous origin of the RCA from the left sinus, and anomalous course between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. DISCUSSION: Possible mechanisms of this disease's symptomatology are compression of the RCA between the aorta and the pulmonary artery in its anomalous inter-arterial course, and squeezing of the RCA in the proximal intramural part.

conclusionIn this report, we present some unique images of the RCAs course, which contribute to the understanding of this disease's symptomatology. The patient successfully underwent surgery with Right Internal Mammary Artery to RCA (RIMA-RCA)(2) bypass with complete remission of all symptoms.
