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 anomalies represent a series of congenital heart diseases characterized by the abnormal circulation of coronary arteries. Of particular interest is the anomalous aortic origin of coronary arteries (AAOCA), an underdiagnosed but potentially fatal anomaly, specifically relevant in young adult athletes. During the last decades, knowledge of the pathophysiology of AAOCA-related ischemic mechanisms has increased, and major risk conditions have been discovered. Unfortunately, a universally shared approach is still lacking, and clinicians often follow the policy of their own centers. Most of the population with AAOCA is asymptomatic or complains of minor symptoms but is among them that there is much more uncertainty about the correct strategy to perform a risk stratification process, and consequently for providing indications on exercise restriction or surgery. This review focuses on the diagnostic approach to coronary anomalies and discusses the diagnostic workflow in these patients. Finally, we perform an in-depth analysis of novel angiographic invasive functional methods and how they contribute to AAOCA in selected cases.
