Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery From the Right Coronary Cusp: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Anomalous origin of the left main coronary trunk from the right coronary sinus is a rare condition and is associated with a significantly increased risk of cardiac events, including sudden cardiac death, and it may pose difficulties in their management using revascularization strategies. We present a case of a 68-year-old man with worsening chest pain. Initial evaluation revealed ST elevation of the inferior wall leads and elevated troponins. He was diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and sent for emergency cardiac catheterization. Coronary angiography showed 50% stenosis of the mid-right coronary artery (RCA) that extended as a total occlusion to the distal RCA and an unexpected anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery (LMCA). Our patient's LMCA originated from the right cusp sharing a single ostium with the RCA. Multiple attempts of revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), using multiple wires, catheters, and different-sized balloons, were unsuccessful due to complex anatomy. Our patient was managed with medical therapy and discharged home with close cardiology follow-up.
