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

Coronary rupture during cardiac catheterization and angioplasty is an uncommon but serious complication. Predisposing factors to this dreadful complication are not well defined. We present a case of coronary artery rupture during an urgent percutaneous intervention in a patient under chronic immunosuppressive therapy with corticosteroids and azathioprine, despite intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance. Initially, the perforation was successfully managed with balloon inflation and finally, a covered stent was deployed at the site. The unexpected rupture, despite optimal IVUS sizing, indicates a possible role of immunosuppressive therapy in coronary artery wall vulnerability. Extra caution should be exerted in such patients while performing coronary interventions and using intracoronary devices.
