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

Background: Unilateral absence of a pulmonary artery is a rare congenital abnormality with few reports in the literature demonstrating resultant myocardial ischaemia. Case summary: A 59-year-old presented with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). She was known to have right-sided pulmonary atresia. She was found to have angiographically normal looking coronary arteries but had left circumflex to right lung (via bronchial artery) fistula. Stress echocardiography demonstrated significant ischaemia in that territory, which resolved after coil embolization of the fistula. Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ACS secondary to steal phenomena due to circumflex-pulmonary fistula and treated successfully with coil embolization.
