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

Although giant coronary aneurysms caused by Kawasaki disease (KD) often lead to symptomatic or asymptomatic occlusion within the first year of the acute KD, the long-term fate of giant aneurysms remains unknown. A 51-year-old man with giant coronary aneurysms in three major coronary arteries developed asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction with complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB) 48 years after the onset of acute KD. He had been treated with antiplatelet therapy. The Learning objective: Asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction with complete left bundle branch block due to a right coronary artery occlusion occurred in an adult patient more than 40 years after the onset of Kawasaki disease. They improved after coronary artery bypass grafting. The value of the flow fraction ratio for localized stenosis with giant aneurysms can be overestimated in this population. Coronary risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus associated with aging must be avoided.
