Aortic Coarctation Effect on Atherosclerosis of the Left Internal Mammary Artery: A Case Presentation and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Atherosclerosis of the internal mammary artery (IMA) is an uncommon disease. We present a case report of a patient with stable angina who had a history of coarctation repair. After meticulous investigation and discussion, a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) was planned. During the surgery, we found that the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) was severely atherosclerotic without any blood flow, and a fragment of LIMA was taken for histopathological examination for further insight into pathogenesis. Vein grafts were alternatively used. Furthermore, relevant literature review and management were discussed for the use of LIMA in patients with a history of aortic coarctation.
