Kugel's Artery in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in a Patient with Left Main Subtotal Stenosis.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The artery of Kugel is defined as a rare anatomical variant of the coronary arteries. It consists of an anastomotic connection between the branches of the right coronary artery (RCA) and the left circumflex artery (LCx). In patients with coronary artery occlusion, the presence of this connection bypassing the area of the occluded vessel may be a factor that prevents significant necrosis of a specific area of the myocardium. Most cases are detected by invasive coronary angiography. We present images from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), which documented the existence of Kugel's artery in a 67-year-old patient with subtotal stenosis of the left main artery. The presented images clearly indicate that CCTA can visualize the existing rescue collateral circulation in patients with significant coronary artery disease.
