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

backgroundCoronary artery fistulae are rare anomalies that may cause myocardial ischemia or arrhythmias, even in the absence of coronary stenosis. Their presence alongside other structural cardiac diseases complicates diagnosis and management. CASE SUMMARY: A 69-year-old man presented with significant triple-vessel disease including left main stem involvement, moderate aortic stenosis, and complex coronary-pulmonary artery fistulae arising from all 3 coronary territories. He underwent urgent surgery comprising coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic valve replacement, and fistulae ligation. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and made a good recovery. DISCUSSION: This case demonstrates how coronary-pulmonary artery fistulae, though rare, can significantly complicate clinical management when coexisting with severe coronary artery disease and valvular pathology. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Early recognition of coronary-pulmonary artery fistulae is essential, particularly in the setting of complex cardiac disease, where surgery may be the only effective treatment option.
