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

introductionAbnormalities of the coronary arteries, including abnormal origins, are often detected in heart patients who undergo coronary angiography. Although only a small percentage of these abnormalities lead to serious complications, the consequences can be extremely fatal. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with chest pain. The patient has a history of hypertension and complains of chest pain that worsens with walking and improves with rest. A basic electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sinus rhythm with no signs of arrhythmia or ischemic changes. Coronary angiography revealed an anomalous left coronary artery originating from the right sinus of Valsalva (RSoV).

conclusionsWe report a rare case of an anomalous left coronary artery originating from the RSoV without specific clinical symptoms. The patient presented with unstable angina, and after further investigation, this anomaly was diagnosed. Investigating these abnormalities, especially in young individuals with cardiac symptoms, should be prioritized. Cardiologists should also be aware of this rare condition that can have fatal consequences.
