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

backgroundAnomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery (AAOCA) represents a form of congenital heart disease. Several primary types of anomalous origin of the coronary artery (AOCA) exist. Patients with certain AOCA types may be at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) if timely intervention is delayed. CASE DESCRIPTION: This study reports a case of an 11-year-old female pediatric patient who experienced multiple episodes of syncope before being evaluated at our hospital. She was diagnosed with an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus, along with severe stenosis at the left coronary artery orifice, following transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and other detailed examinations. The patient subsequently responded well to surgical unroofing for AAOCA combined with single internal mammary artery-coronary artery bypass grafting.

conclusionAs advancements in ultrasonic medicine progress, TTE has proven to be a valuable non-invasive method for diagnosing AAOCA. In this paper, the findings from echocardiography, computed tomography angiography (CTA), and ascending aortography of the patient were analyzed retrospectively to explore the diagnostic value of echocardiography for this condition and to enhance its diagnostic efficacy.
