Pectus Excavatum, Patent Foramen Ovale, and Migraine in the Same Patient.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. 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
backgroundA patent foramen ovale (PFO) can be found in patients with pectus excavatum (PE); PFO can be associated with migraines. CASE SUMMARY: A 22-year-old woman presents a PE and a history of recurrent migraines. Pulsed oxygen saturation at effort decreased from 97% to 92%. A transthoracic echocardiography showed a PFO. Five years after the Ravitch procedure, pulsed oxygen saturation remained stable at effort, no PFO was shown on transthoracic echocardiography, and migraine disappeared. DISCUSSION: Our observation is the first description of the PE, PFO, and migraine association. The correction of PE has allowed the closure of the PFO and improved migraines. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: This case report suggests that a patient presenting a PE should undergo a comprehensive cardiorespiratory evaluation. Similarly, patients with a symptomatic PFO and PE should benefit from a multidisciplinary discussion involving thoracic surgeons to determine the best approach to treat the PFO.
