Prevalence and Pattern of Congenital Coronary Artery Anomalies in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography at a Tertiary Care Hospital of Northern India.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06381128 (Detection of Coronary Arteries Anomalies by Computed Tomography Angiography in Children With Congenital Heart Disease), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectivesTo evaluate the prevalence and pattern of congenital coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) in the adult population undergoing catheter coronary angiography.
methodsThe coronary angiograms done between October 2015 and September 2020 were reviewed for the presence of coronary anomalies based upon Angelini's classification. The medical record of patients with anomalies was reviewed for symptomatology and indication of angiography.
resultsCAAs were found in 129 (87 males and 42 females) of 6,258 patients giving a prevalence of 2.06%. The mean age was 57.8 ± 11.8 (range 32-81) years. Among these, the anomalous origin and course of the coronaries were the most common anomaly seen in 81 (1.29%) patients, followed by intrinsic anomalies of the coronary arterial system in 44 (0.7%) patients and anomalies of coronary termination and anomalous anastomotic vessels in 2 (0.03%) patients each. Overall, the absence of the left main trunk with a separate origin of the left anterior descending (LAD) and the circumflex artery was the commonest anomaly seen in 46 (0.74%) patients, followed by dual LAD in 35 (0.56%) patients. The anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left sinus was seen in 14 patients (0.22%) and that of the circumflex artery from the right sinus or right coronary artery was seen in 11 patients (0.17%). The origin of the left main and RCA from ascending aorta was found in eight (0.13%) patients. One (0.02%) patient had a single coronary artery, and another one (0.02%) had all the three coronary arteries arising from the right sinus; however, with separate ostia. The split RCA was seen in nine (0.14%) patients and there were two (0.03%) patients each of coronary artery fistulae, and of anomalous anastomotic vessels.
conclusionsThe prevalence of congenital coronary anomalies in this study was 2.06%. The commonest anomaly was that of origin and courses of the vessels, however, the pattern of anomalies is different from previous studies.
