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
Coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula (CPAF) is a congenital or acquired abnormal channel between arteries, with a left-to-right cardiac shunting, which may lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, thrombotic complications, and heart failure. CPAF is usually detected by coronary angiography but few reports have used beating-heart surgery as a detection method. The patient in this case report is a 39-year-old male diagnosed with atrial septal defect (ASD), bicuspid pulmonary valve, and moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR). He is asymptomatic. In preoperative evaluation, significant CPAF was suspected using echocardiography. The patient refused coronary angiography due to allergic history. Therefore, the cardiac team designed and performed on-pump beating-heart surgery (OPBHS) to detect and repair these disorders, and suggested OPBHS as a myocardial protection strategy for the patient at low surgical risk. A rare and complex cardiovascular case with CPAFs from two branches of the left anterior descending coronary (LAD) artery to the main pulmonary artery (MPA) with ASD, bicuspid pulmonary valve, and moderate TR has not yet been reported in the literature, and its embryological hypothesis has been further analyzed in this report.
