A case of myocardial bridging as a rare cause of chest pain in children.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Asymptomatic myocardial bridging is a frequently seen pathology in adult patients, often in association with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Left anterior descending coronary artery is mostly affected. We report on a 14-year-old boy with repeated angina-like pain, disturbances of repolarization in the ECG and elevated values for Troponin T. After exclusion of a myocarditis in the MRI, myocardial bridging was detectable in coronary angiography and confirmed by myocardial perfusion imaging with 430 MBq (99m)Tc-Tetrofosmin at rest and under physical stress. After surgical myotomy, improvement of the cardiac symptoms could be noted and myocardial perfusion imaging studies at rest and under stress demonstrated reversal of the myocardial ischemia. Myocardial bridging is a rare and important differential diagnosis for angina-like pain in childhood without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
