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
Introduction: Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a congenital communication between the coronary artery and other vascular structures or cardiac chambers. Percutaneous CAF closure is an emerging alternative to surgery, but long-term outcome data are limited. Aim: To review our center's experience with percutaneous CAF closure methods. Material and methods: Patients who were admitted to our department and underwent percutaneous coronary artery fistula intervention between January 2002 and April 2022 due to presence of CAF-related symptoms or complications were retrospectively analyzed. Data were obtained retrospectively from the hospital electronic database. Results: A total of 39 patient were included. Mean age was 57.3 ±12.5 years and 23 (59%) patients were male. The most common symptom was angina (69.2%) and 51.2% of the patients were under treatment with at least one anti-anginal agent at admission. The right coronary artery ( Conclusions: Coronary artery fistulas may present with different symptoms or complications and there are several techniques for percutaneous occlusion. Percutaneous closure of CAF is feasible and safe in anatomically suitable vessels, with good results at follow-up.
