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.

Abstract

Chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO) are documented in approximately one fifth of diagnostic invasive coronary angiographies (ICA). Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of CTO are challenging and are accompanied by higher complication and lower success rates in comparison with non-CTO PCI. Scrutinous evaluation of ischemia and viability to justify percutaneous revascularization is therefore of importance to select eligible patients for such a procedure. Furthermore, knowledge of the anatomical features of the occlusion may predict the chances of success of PCI CTO and could even guide the procedural strategy to augment the likelihood of recanalization. Positron emission tomography (PET) is unequivocally accepted as the reference standard for ischemia and viability testing, whereas coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) currently allows for non-invasive detailed three-dimensional imaging of the coronary anatomy that adds morphological information over two-dimensional ICA. Hybrid PET/CT could therefore be useful for optimal patient selection as well as procedural planning. This review discusses the potential value of PET/CT to guide PCI in CTOs.
