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

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly with exceptional survival into adulthood. We present a 66-year-old woman with chest and back pain in whom ALCAPA was diagnosed using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with curved planar reformation and cinematic volume rendering technique (cVRT). Photorealistic three-dimensional reconstruction provided complementary three-dimensional visualization that may facilitate anatomic understanding and communication of the anomalous origin. Conservative management was adopted given the patient's age and well-developed collateral circulation. This case underscores the value of advanced CCTA visualization in diagnosing rare coronary anomalies in elderly patients.
