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

objectiveGuideLiner catheter provides adequate back-up support and a coaxial guide engagement for stent delivery in complex coronary anatomies. In this study, we aimed to present one of the largest series of experience with GuideLiner catheter utilized for challenging percutaneous coronary interventions in two centers.

methodsWe retrospectively collected the coronary angiography records of 64 patients between January 1, 2012 and August 1, 2014 in whom conventional techniques failed for stent delivery and 5-in-6 Fr GuideLiner catheter was used for this purpose. The data were assessed in terms of the lesion characteristics, procedural success, and complications. Descriptive statistics and frequencies were used in statistical analyses.

resultsThe mean age of the patients was 69.8±10.0 years. Femoral approach was employed in all cases. Lesions were mostly (90.6%) class B2 or C according to the AHA/ACC lesion classification. The GuideLiner catheter was mainly used to increase back-up of the guide catheter (85.9%), and in 95.3% of all cases, the procedure was successful. The mean depth of the GuideLiner catheter intubation was 30.3±21.6 mm. None of the patients had coronary dissection or major complications.

conclusionIn this study, we presented a large registry of two centers used the GuideLiner catheter. The device effectively allowed stent delivery in challenging lesions, where conventional techniques have failed, without major complications.
