Case Report: Extrinsic Compression of the Left Main Coronary Artery by a Giant Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SoVA) is an uncommon clinical entity, which is present in roughly 0. 09% of the general population. The cause can either be acquired or congenital. Clinically the SoVA of unruptured status are rarely captured or even diagnosed due to atypical clinical presentations. Here, we present a rare case of exertional angina pectoris and recurrent syncope due to an extrinsically compressed left coronary artery by a giant SoVA in a 50-year-old female patient. This SoVA was successfully repaired by the surgical exclusion and the patient was still doing well after 2 years of follow-up.
