Anomalous coronary artery masquerading as a root abscess: a case report.
Article in Future cardiology, 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
Congenital coronary artery anomalies are rare and most often clinically benign. We present a case of a 67-year-old male with osteomyelitis and persistent bacteremia with an anomalous left coronary artery mimicking an aortic root abscess. A transesophageal echocardiogram revealed a hypoechoic potential space around the aortic root, highly suspicious for a root abscess. Urgent cardiac surgery was performed, revealing no infection but an anomalous coronary artery arising from the right coronary sinus. This case highlights the importance of considering atypical anatomy in the diagnosis of infectious cardiac processes. While this resemblance should not delay intervention for suspected abscesses, it emphasizes the need to be aware of congenital differences in imaging for patients with known anomalies or asymptomatic patients with unknown anatomy.
