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

Coronary artery fistulae (CAF) are defined as an abnormal connection between a coronary artery and another luminated vascular or nonvascular organ. Most cases are small and remain asymptomatic. Multiple fistulae involving both coronary arteries are uncommon. A 49-year-old man presented with persistent, progressive, nonexertional chest pain. Coronary computed tomography angiography revealed multiple anomalous CAF draining into a large aneurysm that connected to the pulmonary sinus. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary angiography and transcatheter coil embolization of the aneurysm with 12 coils placed. Symptomatic CAF require intervention to prevent the development of complications. The transcatheter approach is associated with a lower rate of complications and fistula recurrence compared with open-heart surgery. This case illustrates the effectiveness of transcatheter coil embolization in the treatment of coronary artery to pulmonary sinus fistulae.
