A Rare Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery From Mid-Left Anterior Descending Artery: Do Not Rush Into Action.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCoronary artery anomalies represent the second leading cause of sudden cardiac death among young athletes, with limited evidence for the management of symptomatic individuals. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of a single coronary artery anomaly; the right coronary artery (RCA) originating from the mid-left anterior descending artery (LAD). Further evaluation with stress imaging showed no evidence of stress-induced ischemia. DISCUSSION: This represents a rare case of an anomalous origin and course of the RCA from the mid-LAD with a malignant interarterial course. The initial diagnosis was an ostial RCA chronic total occlusion with presumed retrograde filling from the LAD. However, a careful review of the angiogram demonstrated antegrade rather than retrograde flow. The diagnostic uncertainty was ultimately resolved by computed tomography coronary angiography. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: In case of suspected coronary anomalies or an unclear coronary course and/or origin, a computed tomography angiography is strongly recommended.
