Multiple Major Aortopulmonary Collateral Arteries With Tetralogy of Fallot and Other Congenital Cardiac Disorders Detected in the Fourth Decade: A Report of a Rare Case.
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 occurrence of MAPCAs (major aortopulmonary collateral arteries) with TOF (tetralogy of Fallot) and bilateral hypoplastic pulmonary arteries together is a rare condition. Patients are typically middle-aged men who usually present with acute signs of cardiac manifestations. The anomalies have survival up to the fourth decade of life and are fraught with clinical challenges. Additionally, various congenital syndromic associations, such as DiGeorge syndrome, are associated with these anomalies. We report an extremely rare case of a 41-year-old male who came with complaints of chest pain, dyspnea on exertion, and headaches. The patient had a previous history of tuberculosis and a rare combination of MAPCAs with TOF and bilateral hypoplastic pulmonary arteries, with a right-sided aortic arch with an aplastic left subclavian artery. The importance of the case comes from the need to perform surgery on a middle-aged male who was completely asymptomatic prior to this.
