Balloon embedded bifurcation stenting with single stent for side branch protection - Preliminary results from an Indian population.
Observational study in Indian heart journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundIntervention for bifurcation lesions is associated with increased risk of adverse events and includes acute side branch (SB) occlusion during main branch (MB) stenting. This acute occlusion of side branch can often be catastrophic for the patient. We here in describe our experience in Indian population with a technique which can be incorporated into bifurcation stenting to reduce or almost eliminate the incidence of side branch occlusion. METHOD AND
results70 patients with bifurcation lesion were included in the study and underwent a balloon embedded bifurcation stenting with a semi inflated balloon placed across the SB ostium. Angiographic and procedural success were achieved in all the patients. TIMI 3 flow was achieved in both the MB and SB in all cases and there was no incidence of dissection or acute occlusion of SB. Mean fluoroscopy time and contrast volume was similar to that of conventional bifurcation stenting.
conclusionThe present study suggests that balloon embedded bifurcation stenting with a semi inflated balloon to protect the SB is feasible, not associated with procedural adverse events and successful in minimising or almost eliminating the incidence of acute side branch occlusion.
