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: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital defect that poses a significant risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden death, especially during the hemodynamic stresses of pregnancy. Although surgical correction is standard, the management of asymptomatic adult-type ALCAPA diagnosed during pregnancy remains a high-stakes clinical challenge. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 36-year-old multiparous woman with incidentally diagnosed adult-type ALCAPA during her third pregnancy. Serial echocardiography revealed moderate mitral regurgitation. The pregnancy was complicated by superimposed preeclampsia at 33 weeks. A dedicated multidisciplinary team implemented a tailored plan for labor induction at 37 weeks in a hybrid operating room, employing epidural analgesia and continuous hemodynamic monitoring. The patient underwent a successful vaginal delivery of a healthy infant. Intriguingly, mitral regurgitation transiently worsened to severe on postpartum Day 3 but significantly improved to mild by Day 7, correlating with resolution of the pregnancy-induced volume load. Coronary CTA postpartum confirmed the diagnosis. Discussion: Multidisciplinary planning enables safe vaginal delivery in select ALCAPA pregnancies. Dynamic peripartum changes in mitral regurgitation underline the role of volume shifts and the need for serial echocardiography to guide management and time definitive surgery.
