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

backgroundOsteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder of connective tissue causing mostly left-sided heart valves and aortic root pathologies, but a coronary artery involvement reflecting an increased sensitivity to cardiovascular risk factors is also suspected in this patient population. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 38-year-old patient with an osteogenesis imperfecta and a typical presentation of an acute myocardial infarction. The coronary angiogram showed a coronary 3-vessel disease. The patient underwent a bypass grafting surgery with the internal mammary artery. The sternum was closed using four nitinol clips and had totally stabilized at 4 months with excellent bone healing.

conclusionsWith the successful clinical outcome in this patient severely affected by its osteogensis imperfecta, we underline the safe use of the LIMA, if precaution is taken towards the sternal bone, and its closure with nitinol clips.
