Contemporary overview and clinical perspectives of chronic total occlusions.
Review in Nature reviews. Cardiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are often detected on diagnostic coronary angiograms, but percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CTO is currently infrequently performed owing to high technical difficulty, perceived risk of complications, and a lack of randomized data. However, successful CTO-PCI can significantly increase a patient's quality of life, improve left ventricular function, reduce the need for subsequent CABG surgery, and possibly improve long-term survival. A number of factors must be taken into account for the selection of patients for CTO-PCI, including the extent of ischaemia surrounding the occlusion, the level of myocardial viability, coronary location of the CTO, and probability of procedural success. Moreover, in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, a CTO in a noninfarct-related artery might lead to an increase in infarct area, increased end-diastolic left ventricular pressure, and decreased left ventricular function, which are all associated with poor clinical outcomes. In this Review, we provide an overview of the anatomy and histopathology of CTOs, perceived benefits of CTO-PCI, considerations for patient selection for this procedure, and a summary of emerging techniques for CTO-PCI.
