Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm Incidentally Found During Stroke Evaluation Through Echocardiography.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Giant coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are rare forms of coronary artery disease. An 82-year-old man presented to the hospital with generalized weakness, arm numbness, and dizziness and was found to have a multi-infarct stroke. A transthoracic echocardiogram was obtained to determine a possible cardiovascular etiology of his stroke. However, it did not reveal thrombi or vegetation; instead, it showed a ring-like structure adjacent to the tricuspid valve that appeared to be a large right atrial cyst. A transesophageal echocardiogram was performed localizing the ring-like mass near the tricuspid annulus. Cardiac catheterization revealed aneurysms of the coronary arteries with complete distal occlusion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), an aneurysmal left circumflex, and a right coronary artery with a very large aneurysm without signs of thrombus or flow-limiting lesion. CAAs are usually found through cardiac catheterization. Echocardiography may be a novel way of identifying CAAs.
