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

Intramyocardial coronary artery course is a rare anatomical variant that can be increasingly recognized with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). We present the case of a 22-year-old male who underwent CCTA for evaluation of chest pain. Imaging demonstrated an unusual course of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), which traversed toward the right ventricular cavity over an approximately 21 mm segment. Multiplanar reconstructions and three-dimensional volume-rendered images clearly depicted the intramyocardial trajectory of the vessel. Although usually asymptomatic, recognition of this variant is important because intramyocardial coronary arteries may be vulnerable to injury during intracardiac procedures. This case highlights the role of CCTA in accurately characterizing a rare intracavitary LAD course with clear delineation of its intramyocardial-to-intracavitary trajectory toward the right ventricle using multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstructions.
