Percutaneous coronary intervention in the elderly.
Review in Nature reviews. Cardiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In contemporary practice, more than one in five patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are aged ≥75 years and the proportion of elderly individuals in the population is growing. The elderly have more cardiovascular risk factors and a greater burden of ischemic disease than younger patients needing PCI and, therefore, derive greater benefit from revascularization. However, they are also more likely to experience procedural complications, owing to age-related physiological changes, frailty, and comorbidities. This article reviews the outcomes of revascularization among the elderly and the impact of advances in PCI techniques and adjuvant pharmacotherapy on these outcomes. We also address clinical challenges that exist presently when considering PCI in the elderly, as well as future research needs to optimize revascularization outcomes in this population. To maximize the benefits of PCI in the elderly, providers should have explicit conversations with patients regarding goals of treatment. Once a decision to undergo PCI is reached, clinicians need to individualize care decisions, address modifiable risks such as bleeding, and pay careful attention to selection of the appropriate timing of PCI, and the type, timing, and dosing of adjuvant medical therapy.
