An unusual cause of cardiac arrest in a young infant.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 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
backgroundAnomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery from the inappropriate sinus of Valsalva (AAOCA) is a rare congenital heart lesion. It is uncommon for patients with AAOCA to present with severe symptoms at a very young age. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a very rare but critical presentation in a young infant with AAOCA that requires surgical repair and pacemaker placement. A three-month-old infant was referred because of syncope. Cardiac arrest occurred shortly after admission. The electrocardiogram indicated a complete atrioventricular block and a transvenous temporary pacemaker was implanted. A further coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) showed the anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of Valsalva. Coronary artery unroofing was performed due to an interarterial course with the intramural component, and a permanent epicardial pacemaker was implanted. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, and this patient was thriving and asymptomatic at the nine-month follow-up. However, the electrocardiogram still indicated a complete pacing rhythm.
conclusionsBy timely diagnosis and treatment, this patient is successfully rescued. Although rare, AAOCA may be fatal even in infants.
