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

Prompt delivery of percutaneous coronary revascularization in the acute setting has been shown to decrease mortality, length of hospitalization, and patient recovery time. However, its routine use in stable coronary disease is less validated, especially in the absence of adequate medical treatment. Several studies have looked into the benefits of percutaneous coronary revascularization. Based on these studies, many clinical guidelines have been developed to aid in decision making. In this article, we outline the benefits and reality of percutaneous coronary revascularization. We explore the major trials and use the latest clinical guidelines as a framework for our discussion on the applicability of this procedure in the setting of acute coronary syndromes and stable coronary disease.
