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

A 63-year-old woman presented with intermittent palpitations. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) identified a high-velocity shunt from a tortuous left circumflex artery into an enlarged coronary sinus, with a 5-mm fistulous orifice. Coronary CT angiography delineated the full course of a congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF), associated circumflex aneurysm, and coronary sinus dilatation. Surgical closure was successfully performed, with intraoperative confirmation of shunt resolution. This case highlights the synergistic utility of multimodal imaging: echocardiography for real-time hemodynamic assessment and CT angiography for precise anatomical mapping-which enables accurate diagnosis, optimal surgical planning, and timely intervention in anatomically complex CAVF before irreversible myocardial damage ensues.
