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

backgroundUnroofed coronary sinus (UCS) is a rare subtype of atrial septal defect. It is frequently associated with a persistent left superior vena cava and is often part of a more intricate cardiac malformation. CASE SUMMARY: This report describes a rare case of an adolescent patient with UCS featuring atrial situs solitus, absence of the right superior vena cava and a persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium consistent with total unroofing of the coronary sinus. This was associated with concurrent severe mitral insufficiency secondary to redundant and prolapsing leaflets, and a substantial left-to-right shunt across the coronary sinus orifice. A comprehensive examination of the existing literature is included, shedding light on the diagnostic challenges of UCS and describing the available surgical options within the context of mitral valve surgery.

conclusionUCS is a complex condition requiring careful consideration of associated anomalies and a tailored surgical approach.
