Giant right coronary artery aneurysm with associated dissection: diagnosis and surgical management.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Coronary artery aneurysms are defined as a focal dilatation exceeding 1.5 times the diameter of the adjacent normal segment. They are found in up to 5% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Giant coronary artery aneurysms (GCAAs), typically defined as >20 mm in diameter, with an incidence of ⁓0.02%. We present the case of an 82-year-old female who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting due to a giant right coronary artery aneurysm measuring 85 mm, identified on preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). The patient exhibited symptoms consistent with pericardial irritation secondary to aneurysms size and was found to have significant right heart compression. Surgical intervention included opening and resection of the aneurysmal sac and bypassing the affected segment using a saphenous vein graft. Intraoperatively, it was discovered that the aneurysm wall was dissected, with a high risk of rupture. This case highlights the importance of timely recognition and surgical management of GCAAs.
