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
Regional wall motion abnormality in the left ventricular (LV) apex detected on transthoracic echocardiography is commonly interpreted as the presence of a distal left anterior descending (LAD) artery lesion in clinical practice. Herein, we reported a rare case of apical acute myocardial infarction (AMI) caused by an occluded posterior descending branch of the right coronary artery (RCA), in which the correspondence between coronary arterial anatomy and supplied LV apex was evaluated by multi-imaging modalities. Despite the presence of regional wall motion abnormality in the LV apex, left coronary angiography showed no significant coronary artery diseases. It was of note that LAD terminated before the LV apex. Right coronary angiography showed total occlusion of the posterior descending branch. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) clearly demonstrated that the spontaneously recanalized posterior descending branch extended toward the LV apex. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) clearly revealed regional wall motion abnormality corresponding to myocardial edema in the LV apex. Cardiac CT and MRI were powerful tools in clarifying the correspondence between coronary arterial anatomy and supplied LV apex. Clinicians should be aware that localized apical AMI can occur under the condition of occluded posterior descending branch of RCA concomitant with short LAD.
