Successful Surgical Management of a Coincidence of Three-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease, Severe Carotid Atherosclerosis, and Carotid Paraganglioma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Screening for carotid atherosclerosis is mandatory before coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Incidental pathologies, such as carotid paraganglioma, may be discovered rarely, complicating management. A 53-year-old woman with three-vessel coronary artery disease and exertional chest pain underwent routine carotid ultrasound, revealing "> 90% stenosis of the left external carotid artery and a 1.8 × 1.2 × 1.0 cm mass at the carotid bifurcation, classified as Shamblin II." She reported a painless, pulsatile left-neck mass but no cranial nerve deficits. Preoperative coil embolization was not performed due to manageable intraoperative control of the vascular supply. The patient successfully underwent simultaneous CABG, carotid endarterectomy, and tumor excision; histopathology confirmed paraganglioma. Patients with multivessel coronary disease often harbor severe carotid atherosclerosis, warranting concomitant endarterectomy at the time of CABG. Pre-operative imaging may unmask incidental carotid body tumors (e.g., a 1.8 × 1.2 × 1.0 cm Shamblin II paraganglioma), which require surgical excision and histopathologic assessment to guide optimal multidisciplinary care.
