Coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula in a patient with atypical chest pain: case presentation and literature review.
Review in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 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 fistulas are rare anomalies characterized by abnormal communications between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber, vein, or great vessel. This review explores the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, and management of CPAFs, with a focus on their hemodynamic implications. A clinical case is presented to illustrate the diagnostic process and decision-making in the management of CPAFs. The patient was admitted into hospital for chest pain and an abnormal flow in the pulmonary artery observed on transthoracic echocardiography in the emergency department. Further investigations revealed the patient had a coronary-to-pulmonary fistula connecting the left anterior descending artery to the pulmonary artery trunk. Myocardial perfusion scan was performed and it demonstrated normal perfusion in the left anterior descending artery territory. Different causes for chest pain were investigated-upper digestive endoscopy revealed peptic ulcer, which was successfully treated. This review underscores the importance of individualized approaches to treatment and highlights the potential for conservative management in selected patients.
