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

backgroundA 15-year-old Mexican boy experienced sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) during physical exertion. CASE SUMMARY: The patient received bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation. An anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery was diagnosed by echocardiography. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was initiated for cardiogenic shock. Coronary unroofing was performed. Results of stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were negative for ischemia; myocardial infarction was ruled out. The patient recovered without neurological sequelae. DISCUSSION: Anomalous coronary arteries are a leading cause of SCA in young athletes. There is a gap in evidence regarding indications for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation in surgically corrected coronary arteries. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Anomalous origin of the coronary arteries causing SCA does not always cause myocardial infarction, leaving chronic ischemia as a possible mechanism for cardiovascular events. Stress perfusion imaging and electrophysiologic consultation should be carried out in following up these patients. An appropriate multidisciplinary approach that can result in excellent outcomes is achievable even in developing countries.
