Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management of Coronary Artery Aneurysms: A Review.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 (CAAs) are frequent entities that are encountered in up to 8% of patients undergoing coronary imaging. The most frequent cause of CAAs is atherosclerotic "positive remodeling" of coronary arteries, while congenital, inflammatory, and traumatic etiologies could also be seen. Aneurysms serve as foci for thrombus formation, which may occlude the aneurysmatic segment or embolize distally. Rupture of an aneurysm is a rare yet potentially catastrophic complication of a CAA. Most aneurysms can be managed medically, while percutaneous exclusion of an aneurysm from coronary circulation is appropriate for CAAs that are prone to rupture or thrombosis. Surgical correction remains the ultimate option for patients who are not amenable to percutaneous management or those with a compelling indication for surgery. This review summarizes the available knowledge on the nomenclature, classification, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of CAAs, with a particular emphasis on treatment strategies to mitigate the risks associated with CAAs.
