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

Giant coronary artery aneurysms (GCAA) are usually defined as diameter > 8 mm or > 400% of the adjacent normal segment; they are very rare (reported prevalence ≈0.02%). Though coronary angiography is the diagnostic gold standard, computed tomography angiography (CTA) offers a non-invasive, highly sensitive, and specific alternative. CTA enables detailed visualization of aneurysm morphology and detection of complications. We present the case of a 72-year-old man admitted to the Emergency Department with chest pain, where CTA played a crucial role in diagnosing a GCAA and assessing its potential life-threatening complications, highlighting its value in emergency cardiovascular imaging.
