1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital anomaly. We report a 51-year-old woman with QAV who experienced intermittent chest pain due to fibrotic tissue overgrowth from the small left coronary cusp, obstructing the left main coronary artery (LM). Angiography revealed a large "Vieussens' arterial ring," which acted as a collateral channel from the right coronary artery to the left coronary artery, preserving coronary blood flow and left ventricular function. Surgery successfully removed the tissue, maintaining both aortic valve function and coronary patency. This case highlights the need to consider QAV complications and use various imaging modalities for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, including evaluating potential issues like aortic regurgitation and coronary anomalies.
