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

backgroundRupture of a coronary aneurysm (CA) associated with a coronary-pulmonary artery fistula (CPAF) is rare, and optimal management remains unclear. Patients with advanced cirrhosis have a high surgical risk. CASE SUMMARY: A 72-year-old woman with Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis presented with sudden chest pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed rupture of a CA arising from bilateral CPAFs. Given the high surgical risk, transcatheter treatment was selected. Although occlusion of both inflow and outflow vessels was attempted, the outflow vessel was not accessible. After careful hemodynamic evaluation, only the main inflow vessel was embolized, achieving effective hemostasis and decompression. No re-rupture or recanalization occurred, and complete thrombosis was confirmed 3 months later. DISCUSSION: CA associated with CPAF is rare and lacks established management strategies. This case highlights that inflow vessel occlusion alone may achieve life-saving hemostasis in emergency settings. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: In patients with ruptured CA associated with CPAFs, inflow vessel embolization may provide effective hemostasis.
