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

A 59-year-old man presented with angina. Coronary angiography revealed an occlusion in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD), the distal segment of which was supplied by the collateral flow of a coronary-pulmonary arterial fistula (CPAF), originating from the right coronary artery and left sinus of Valsalva. Myocardial scintigraphy revealed ischemia in the anteroseptal region. Coronary artery bypass surgery was performed on the LAD, and the CPAF drains were closed. The CPAF may serve as collateral circulation. Even when CPAF serves as collateral circulation, open surgery could be indicated if the collateral flow is insufficient and the structure is complicated.
