Unveiling the Rarity: An Anomaly of the Left Circumflex Artery Supplying Left Ventricular Apex and Presenting With Myocardial Infarction.
Article in Cureus, 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
Coronary arteries are typically identified based on the myocardial territory they supply. In rare cases of coronary artery anomalies, the apex of the heart may be supplied by arteries other than the left anterior descending artery. While it is more common for the posterior descending artery from the right coronary artery to supply the apex, there are rare instances where the left circumflex (LCX) artery performs this function. This case report describes an unusual occurrence where the left ventricular apex is supplied by an obtuse marginal branch of the LCX artery. We present this case due to its rarity, unique presentation, and the challenges it poses for both medical and surgical management.
