Incidental Right Aortic Arch in a 55-Year-Old Male With Cerebral Palsy: A Radiologic Pitfall Mimicking Pulmonary Pathology.
Article in Cureus, 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
We present the case of a 55-year-old male with a past medical history of cerebral palsy, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), seizures, and generalized anxiety disorder who presented with recurrent episodes of respiratory distress and was incidentally found to have a right aortic arch (RAA) on radiologic imaging. Although this anatomical variation is rare, this case serves as a teaching point to raise awareness of the existence of a RAA and how it can be mistaken for a lung lesion, mass, or malignancy. Studies have shown that this anatomical abnormality can also give rise to subtle esophageal and respiratory symptoms. In addition, some patients diagnosed with RAA, especially older adults, have been found to have concurrent vascular anomalies, such as right coronary artery stenosis, left and/or right subclavian artery stenosis, and aortic dissection.
