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

The heart muscle fibres of invertebrates and Pisces are nourished by the blood within them. In all other species, coronary arteries (CA) are the vasa vasora of the heart, nourishing its musculature. Proper coronary circulation is therefore crucial for sustaining the body. The present study comprised two entities, radio angiography and cadaveric heart dissection. For the radio angiographic study, 3,467 coronary angiograms performed between January 2022 and March 2025 were retrieved from the archives of the Department of Cardiology, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi, India. In the cadaveric study, we used 70 hearts from the soft tissue receptacle of the Department of Anatomy, Amrita School of Medicine. Meticulous dissection was carried out on the CA, and the tunnels were verified independently by the authors working in groups to avoid subjective bias. A total of 46 (1.33%) myocardial bridges (MB) were identified in the radio angiographic study, and 21 (30%) in the dissection study. They were all in the left anterior descending artery. We have addressed the development of CA and explored possible mechanisms for the formation of MB.
