A Giant Left Anterior Descending Artery (LAD) Coronary Artery Aneurysm Treated by Covered Stent Angioplasty: A Case Report.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
BACKGROUND Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is uncommon angiographic finding with unclear pathophysiology. Atherosclerosis is the main contributing risk factor in adults. To date, there are no standardized recommendations for the management of CAA. Therefore, this case report describes the effectiveness of PCI as therapeutic approach for giant CAA. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 69-year-old male smoker brought to the Emergency Department (ED) due to the crescendo angina. Coronary angiography showed a giant saccular proximal left anterior descending coronary artery aneurysm, which was successfully treated with covered stent implantation, leading to good outcome. CONCLUSIONS The management of CAA is individualized and depends on several parameters such as aneurysm characteristics, technical challenges, and clinical situation. Future clinical trials investigating the role of PCI are needed.
