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
Background: With the increasing use of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), isolated coronary artery fistulas (ICAFs) are increasingly identified during routine or non-targeted imaging, but the large-scale epidemiological and anatomical data remain limited. This study aims to explore the prevalence, anatomical features, and clinical manifestations of ICAFs in adults who underwent CCTA. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 378,556 consecutive adult patients who underwent CCTA at Fuwai Hospital between 2010 and 2022. Two experienced radiologists independently reviewed CCTA images to confirm the presence of ICAFs and assess their anatomical features, including origin, drainage site, and size. Demographic, clinical, and procedural data were analyzed to evaluate associations with symptoms and treatment strategies. Results: A total of 252 adult patients with ICAFs were identified, yielding a prevalence of 0.07%. The mean age was 48.29±15.03 years, and 47.20% were male. The majority originated from the anterior descending artery (30.56%) and drained into the pulmonary artery (62.3%). The mean diameter of the fistula was 7.30±5.19 mm with 32.54% categorized as with large ICAFs. Symptomatic ICAFs patients were younger than asymptomatic patients (43.81±14.18 Conclusions: The prevalence of ICAFs was 0.07% among adult population who underwent CCTA. Large-sized ICAFs was the anatomical features significantly associated with clinical symptoms.
