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

backgroundCoronary artery fistula is a rare condition with variable presentations. Although traditionally managed surgically, percutaneous intervention is a viable option for high-risk patients. CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of a 65-year-old man with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (25%) due to a left circumflex artery to coronary sinus fistula. He underwent successful percutaneous coil embolization using 3-dimensional-shaped platinum-based bare-metal coils. DISCUSSION: We present an alternative treatment in a high surgical risk patient with a distal left circumflex artery to coronary sinus fistula, a common phenotype for this rare condition. Despite elevated myocardial infarction risk due to distal location and potential side branch occlusion, percutaneous closure was successful. Overall, percutaneous approaches offer high success rates and low recurrence, highlighting the importance of a heart team in individualized management. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Three-dimensional-shaped platinum-based bare-metal coils show promise, but their off-label use highlights the need for standardized protocols and long-term outcome data.
