1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We aimed to analyse the clinical characteristics of children with different types of anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery (AAOCA) at different ages, and to discuss the factors related to myocardial ischaemia. In this retrospective study, we included 69 children diagnosed with AAOCA using CT coronary angiography; we classified the participants based on the type of AAOCA, age, and high-risk anatomy. The clinical characteristics of the different AAOCA types and age groups were compared, and the correlation between manifestations and high-risk anatomy was analysed. Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the right coronary artery sinus, anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left coronary artery sinus, and a coronary artery origin without coronary sinuses was found in 10 (14.5%), 57 (82.6%), 2 (2.9%) patients, respectively. There were no significant differences in sex, clinical manifestations, percentage of positive myocardial injury markers, electrocardiogram, transthoracic echocardiography, or proportion of high-risk anatomy among the groups with different AAOCA types. According to age group, the proportion of asymptomatic infants and pre-schoolers was the highest (p < 0.001). Forty-three patients (62.3%) had high-risk anatomy and were more likely to present with severe symptoms and cardiac syncope (p < 0.05).   Conclusion: There were no significant differences in the proportions of high-risk anatomy and clinical characteristics among children with different AAOCA types. We found a relation between the severity of AAOCA clinical symptoms and anatomical risk. What is Known: • Clinical symptoms in children with AAOCA are varied and the results of routine cardiological examinations lack specificity. • High-risk anatomical features, exercise, cardiac symptoms, and ALCA are risk factors for the occurrence of SCD in patients with AAOCA. What is New: • Compared the clinical characteristics of different types of AAOCA and ages. • Analysed the correlation between symptoms and high-risk anatomical features.
