Anomalous origin of coronary arteries from pulmonary artery in adults: a case series.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundAnomalous origin of a coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk is a small group of rare congenital anomalies present in up to 1% of the population. These patients, in absence of an adequate collateral supply, may present with congestive heart failure secondary to ischaemia, arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death in up to 90% of cases within the first months of life. CASE SUMMARY: We present four cases diagnosed in adulthood over 10 years in two high-volume centres. The first patient presented with dyspnoea and orthopnoea. The second with chest pain and episodes of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. The third patient presented during her third pregnancy with chest pain, palpitations, and arrhythmia (non-sustained ventricular tachycardia). The fourth patient presented with sudden cardiac death. DISCUSSION: In all cases with anomalous origin of coronary arteries, it is recommendable to consider surgical correction to avoid the progression of ischaemia, congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, and sudden death.
