Coronary chronic total occlusion intervention: A pathophysiological perspective.
Review in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusion (CTO) is the last frontier in coronary intervention. PCI of CTO carries multiple advantages, such as significant improvement in symptoms, improvement in abnormal wall motion and left ventricular function and, possibly, increased long-term survival. As of today the procedural success is markedly improved because of technical innovations and is limited to highly experienced operators. To enhance the overall success rate from a worldwide perspective, a thorough understanding of its pathophysiology is critical to further development of newer techniques and technologies. In this review, the author outlines in-depth the evidence that underpins our understanding of CTO pathophysiology and its insight into CTO intervention that incorporates various steps and techniques to cross the lesion.
