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

purpose of reviewAnomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare congenital coronary anomaly with the potential to cause myocardial ischemia and adverse cardiac events. The presence of AAOCA anatomy itself does not necessarily implicate a need for revascularization. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to assess how noninvasive comprehensive anatomic- and physiologic evaluation may guide patient management. RECENT

findingsThe assessment of AAOCA includes an accurate description of the anomalous origin/vessel course including anatomical high-risk features such as a slit-like ostium, proximal narrowing, elliptic vessel shape, acute take-off angle, intramural course, and possible concomitant coronary atherosclerosis and hemodynamics. Various cardiac imaging modalities offer unique advantages and capabilities in visualizing these anatomical and functional aspects of AAOCA. This review explored the role of noninvasive multimodality imaging in the characterization of AAOCA by highlighting the strengths, limitations, and potential applications of the current different cardiac imaging methods, with a focus on the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia and stress testing protocols.
