Traumatic injury of the left anterior descending coronary artery with fistula to the right ventricular outflow tract postgunshot wound.

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 artery fistulas (CAF) are rare abnormalities involving a connection between a coronary artery and an adjacent vessel or heart chamber. Here we discuss the case of a 47-year-old male patient who had multiple gunshot wounds (GSWs) to the chest and abdomen, suffering a through and through bullet wound to the heart from the left ventricle (LV) through the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and exiting from the right ventricle (RV). At the time of his hospitalization, he underwent a non-ECG gated trauma CT scan and subsequent cardiac catheterization that showed patient has a CAF between the LAD and RVOT. Roughly 3 years after his injury, the patient had an ECG-gated coronary CT scan showing the CAF is still present. The patient is now experiencing symptoms of heart failure with suspected worsening of shunt flow from the fistula. This case sheds light on CAFs, their presentation and potential complications to raise awareness for clinicians and radiologists.
