Dual left anterior descending artery: diagnostic criteria and novel classification.
Review in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Duplication of the left anterior descending artery is an uncommon coronary anomaly. Since no proper classification has been established after the initial description and numerical classification by Spindola-Franco et al., many newer numbers have evolved with many overlapping and unclassified variants described in the literature. Identification and reasonable management strategies for dual left anterior descending artery (LAD) are crucial in preventing the long-term disastrous consequences of inadequate revascularization. Clinicians and diagnosticians should be aware of this specific angiographic-based congenital coronary abnormality of the LAD. We, therefore, sought a new, reasonable classification of the dual LAD system, which would clarify this ambiguity, which also has therapeutic implications.
