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

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital deformity, and its association with truncus arteriosus (TA) has been infrequently described in medical literature. We report a case of a 3-year-old child presenting with failure to thrive and recurrent respiratory infections, who was diagnosed with truncus arteriosus type 1 and an anomalous left coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery. The embryological basis of both TA and ALCAPA involves disruptions in the normal development of the aorticopulmonary septum and coronary arteries. TA results from the failure of the truncal ridges and aorticopulmonary septum to develop and divide properly, leading to a single truncal root that does not separate into the aortic and pulmonic outflow tracts, and a single truncal valve [1]. ALCAPA occurs when the left coronary artery, which should normally arise from the left aortic sinus, anomalously originates from the pulmonary artery [2]. This case underscores the importance of a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing and treating patients with complex congenital heart disease.
