Malignant Anomalous Aortic Origin of the Left Main Coronary Artery Managed by Ostial Reimplantation: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) from the right coronary sinus with an interarterial course is a rare congenital variant associated with a high risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac death. We describe a 39-year-old man presenting with exertional chest pressure and dyspnea whose coronary CT angiography revealed an anomalous LMCA arising from the right sinus of Valsalva and coursing between the aorta and pulmonary artery without evidence of atherosclerosis. Transthoracic echocardiography was normal, and stress testing showed no inducible ischemia. The patient underwent surgical reimplantation of the anomalous LMCA into the left aortic sinus under cardiopulmonary bypass, with the right sinus defect closed using autologous pericardium. Recovery was uneventful, and postoperative imaging confirmed a widely patent LMCA. At three months, he remained asymptomatic with preserved ventricular function and no inducible ischemia. This case underscores the importance of high-resolution imaging for diagnosis and demonstrates that reimplantation offers a safe and effective surgical option for malignant coronary anomalies lacking an intramural segment.
