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

backgroundAnomalous right coronary artery (RCA) from the left coronary sinus is uncommon; chronotropic limitation from sinoatrial (SA) nodal ischemia is rarely recognized. CASE SUMMARY: A 35-year-old athlete had exertional chest pain and shortness of breath. Computed tomography coronary angiography showed a left-dominant system and a nondominant anomalous RCA from the left cusp with acute takeoff, probable intramural course, and supply to the SA nodal branch. Dobutamine stress echocardiography reproduced the pain, without wall motion abnormalities but with blunted heart-rate response. After heart team discussion, right internal mammary artery-to-RCA bypass was performed. At 4 months, he was asymptomatic with restored chronotropic response. DISCUSSION: In nondominant anomalous RCA, ischemia testing may be nondiagnostic; recognizing SA nodal supply can explain chronotropic insufficiency and guide intervention. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Nondominant anomalous RCA may present with angina and chronotropic limitation. SA nodal ischemia can be an ischemic equivalent when regional wall motion abnormalities are absent.
