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

Left main compression syndrome (LMCS) is a disease in which the ostium of the left main coronary artery is compressed between a dilated pulmonary artery and the sinus of Valsalva associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The major etiology of LMCS is secondary PH due to congenital heart disease. However, no reports exist regarding LMCS caused by PH due to peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis complicated with moyamoya disease (MMD). We report a case of LMCS caused by PH due to peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis complicated with MMD in a 41-year-old woman who was treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. Learning objective: Left main compression syndrome (LMCS) is a condition in which the main trunk of the left coronary artery is compressed between the dilated pulmonary artery and aorta due to pulmonary hypertension. This paper reports the first case of LMCS due to peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis complicated with moyamoya disease.
