Atrial Coronary Arteries: Anatomy And Atrial Perfusion Territories.
Review in Journal of atrial fibrillation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Coronary anatomy has traditionally focused on ventricular circulation. This is largely due to the extent to which coronary artery disease contributes to ischemic heart disease through ventricular myocardial damage. Atrial fibrillation and other tachyarrhythmias that involve the atria, however, remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality. In order to increase mechanistic research and therapeutic interventional procedures for diseases of the atria, an optimal knowledge of atrial anatomy is necessary. While substantial clarity exists regarding the distribution of nerve terminals and the organization of muscle bundles, the anatomy of coronary atrial circulation remains understudied. Historically, the high anatomical variability of atrial coronary branches led to unstandardized nomenclature in the literature. In this review, we delineate the anatomic courses of key atrial coronary branches and their perfusion territories, clarify their nomenclature, and propose unifying anatomical concepts of atrial circulation that we believe to be critical to the success of modern electrophysiologic and surgical procedures.
