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

Congenital coronary artery anomalies (CCAAs) are uncommon but may cause myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, or sudden cardiac death. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) provides precise, noninvasive assessment of these variants. We report 4 rare CCAA cases detected by CCTA: (1) coronary cameral fistula from the left coronary artery (LCA) to the left ventricle with associated myocardial bridging; (2) interarterial course of the right coronary artery (RCA) between the aorta and pulmonary artery; (3) congenital absence of the RCA with a dominant left system; and (4) dual RCAs. Three patients presented with exertional chest pain, one was found incidentally. All were managed conservatively based on absence of hemodynamic compromise and low ischemic risk; symptoms resolved or improved on follow-up (3-12 months). This series illustrates the spectrum of rare CCAAs and emphasizes CCTA's role in differentiating malignant from benign variants, guiding management, and avoiding unnecessary interventions.
