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

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of dual left anterior descending artery and define the morphological features using coronary computed tomography angiography in order to raise awareness of dual left anterior descending artery among radiologists. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe radiologic reports of 1912 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography at our institution were searched retrospectively for the presence of dual left anterior descending artery. Computed tomography images of patients with dual left anterior descending artery were then reviewed, and the morphological features of dual left anterior descending artery were evaluated.

resultsDual left anterior descending artery was identified in 1.3% of the patients in this study population. Type 1 dual left anterior descending artery was the most common subtype (76%). Four additional cases that were not classified before were also detected.

conclusionDual left anterior descending artery has a variety of subtypes reported mostly as odd cases, and gaining diagnostic awareness of dual left anterior descending artery is more critical, rather than listing and counting the subtypes. With the widespread use of coronary computed tomography angiography, it has become essential for radiologists to have knowledge about dual left anterior descending artery, as it is vital, especially for surgical planning.
