Novel Anatomical Variation of Left Coronary Artery Origin at the Sinotubular Junction Level With Coeval Hypoplastic Left Circumflex, Superdominant Right Coronary Artery, and Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The isolated origin of the left coronary artery (LCA) ostium at the level of the sinotubular junction (STJ) has been described previously. Congenital absence of the left circumflex (LCx) coronary artery has also been documented with superdominant right coronary arterial circulation, either in the presence or absence of coronary artery obstruction. Earlier literature has linked the association of an absent LCx coronary artery with a superdominant right coronary artery (SRCA) but not with a hypoplastic LCx coronary artery (HLCx). The present case report details the case of a 37-year-old thin, athletic male with the risk factors of diabetes and hypertension who was admitted to the emergency unit of our hospital for losing consciousness while bicycling in the street. The current report establishes a combined association of LCA anomaly origin at STJ level along with HLCx and SRCA condition with the burden of mild to moderate coronary artery disease involving proximal left anterior descending artery, LCx, and mid right coronary artery in the literature for the first time. Further, the case report advocated that the presented case carries the risk of malignancy. Hence, with the advancement of modern imaging technologies, computed tomography angiography should be the first choice of imaging modality rather than coronary angiography to prevent fatal outcomes. Interventional cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and radiologists should have properly defined knowledge of coronary artery anatomy and associated pathology, as it is important for coronary cannulation or any coronary interventions.
