Pediatric coronary cameral fistula in a structurally normal heart: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionCoronary cameral fistulas (CCFs) are rare congenital anomalies characterized by abnormal connections between a coronary artery and one of the cardiac chambers. These abnormal connections can lead to significant clinical implications, including heart failure and myocardial ischemia, necessitating timely diagnosis and intervention. CASE PRESENTATION: A 5-year-old Iranian boy was brought to the emergency room at Heart Hospital Center complaining of chest pain and dyspnea on exertion. He had experienced similar episodes over the past 4 months, which had not been evaluated. Physical examination revealed stable vital signs and no remarkable findings. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a dilated left coronary artery with a large aneurysm and a small orifice to the right ventricular body. The left ventricular ejection fraction was 55%. Cardiac computed tomography angiography confirmed the diagnosis. Cardiac angiography showed a dilated left coronary artery and a coronary cameral fistula to the right ventricular . The aneurysm was successfully occluded using two Amplatzer™ devices.
conclusionThis case underscores the critical role of multimodal imaging in diagnosing and managing coronary cameral fistulae. Early detection and appropriate intervention are paramount in preventing the progression of symptoms and potential complications such as heart failure and myocardial ischemia. The successful closure with Amplatzer™ devices highlights the efficacy of minimally invasive techniques in treating complex cardiovascular anomalies. Regular follow-up and careful monitoring are essential to ensure long-term success and to manage any potential recurrences. CLINICAL KEY MESSAGE: Timely identification and management of coronary cameral fistulae are crucial to prevent complications. Advances in imaging techniques and minimally invasive treatments, such as transcatheter closure, offer effective solutions. A multidisciplinary approach and regular follow-up are essential for comprehensive care and successful long-term management.
