Anomalous left coronary artery origin from the nonfacing sinus of pulmonary artery - Successful repair of a rare entity.

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
Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart disease, presenting either in isolation or with other cardiac anomalies. The most common presentation is congestive heart failure in infancy, though some may remain asymptomatic till adulthood. A 5-month-old infant with congestive heart failure was diagnosed to have ALCAPA with severe Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Unlike the more common variants where the left coronary artery (LCA) arose from the facing sinuses, the LCA arose from the left anterior nonfacing sinus of the pulmonary artery at a considerable distance from the left aortic sinus. This made direct reimplantation of LCA to the aorta challenging. LCA was reimplanted to the aorta using an extrapulmonary baffle made of an autologous pulmonary flap. The postoperative period was uneventful. The LV contractility improved during the follow-up. Early diagnosis and intervention with a novel surgical technique prevented irreversible cardiac complications and mortality.
