Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm Fistulization to the Coronary Sinus: Technique for Surgical Repair.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fistulas from the right coronary artery (RCA) to the coronary sinus (CS) are rare coronary anomalies, and their coexistence with diffuse RCA aneurysmal disease is even less common. We report a 76-year-old woman with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation found to have a large, tortuous aneurysmal RCA draining through a large fistula into the CS. In patients with diffusely aneurysmal RCA anatomy, intracardiac closure from within the CS can avoid extensive epicardial dissection while preserving coronary venous drainage. Complex coronary anomalies should not preclude definitive valve and rhythm surgery when myocardial protection strategies are tailored to the underlying anatomy.
