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

Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are usually asymptomatic and have a good prognosis. Single coronary artery anomaly (SCA) is a very rare CAA. Its true incidence is unknown. They are usually detected incidentally during coronary imaging and autopsy. Although most are asymptomatic, they can rarely cause clinical conditions such as sudden cardiac death and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this case report, a 44-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with chest pain and coronary angiography revealed the absence of the left main coronary artery and a single right coronary artery (RCA). The patient's left system was fed by the posterior left ventricular artery (PLVA) and the conus artery. There was a serious lesion in the proximal PLVA and in the region close to the conus branch of the RCA. The patient underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and was discharged with recovery. In this case, we identified a single RCA in the patient presenting with ACS, and interestingly, the conus branch was supplying the proximal part of the left descending artery branch.
