Giant left coronary artery diagonal branch left ventricular fistula: A case report and review of literature.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. 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
A 37-year-old Chinese man was admitted to the department of cardiology of the First Hospital of Jilin University for intermittent palpitation for 9 months, aggravating with chest pain for 3 days. After several examinations, he was diagnosed with giant left ventricular fistula of the diagonal branch of the left coronary artery. After routine treatment, which included improving circulation and administration of dual antiplatelet as well as hypolipidemic drugs among others, the patient's symptoms did not improve. The fistula was too big for transcatheter occlusion to be performed. A multi-disciplinary suggestion was that the patient be subjected to "surgical closure treatment"; however, for personal reasons, he refused the operation. After discharge, oral beta-blockers were prescribed for the patient. Incidences of congenital coronary arterial fistula in congenital cardiovascular disease are rare, and incidences of the giant fistula being located in the left heart system are even rarer. We report an adult male with a giant left anterior descending diagonal coronary artery left ventricular fistula and show various accessory examination results. Non-invasive ultrasonic cardiography was the first diagnostic option for the disease and pre-admission evaluation. Auxiliary diagnosis and exclusion value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) were revealed for the first time. Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) was demonstrated to be the gold standard method again and it was also found that computed tomography angiography (CTA) might be used instead of ICA for determining the exact relationships among anatomic structures. Furthermore, we performed a literature review on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with this condition.
