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

Exertional chest pain in the setting of a structurally normal heart and no known arrhythmia are rarely thought to be related to cardiac etiology. Common non-cardiac etiologies of chest pain in the pediatric population include the following: lung infections, musculoskeletal, asthma, acid reflux, and anxiety. However, common cardiac etiologies that can cause exertional chest pain typically include the following: congenital heart disease, coronary anomalies, myocardial infections, left ventricular outflow obstruction, illicit drug use, and prothrombotic conditions. Rarely, pediatric patients present with an isolated finding of left main coronary artery ostial stenosis requiring intervention. Many of the published reports of left main ostial stenosis are in connection with other congenital heart disease, inflammation, or connective tissue disorders who have undergone percutaneous intervention. This report describes an 8-year-old patient with exertional chest pain for 5 years found to have isolated left ostial stenosis requiring coronary artery bypass grafting at the age of 13.
