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

purpose of reviewCoronary artery disease remains the most common cause of death worldwide. In patients with biomarker-positive acute coronary syndrome, the combination of guideline-directed medical therapy with routine revascularization is associated with improved outcomes. However, the role of routine revascularization in stable ischemic heart disease, in addition to medical therapy, remains a matter of debate. In this review, we aimed to describe the role of revascularization in stable ischemic heart disease. RECENT

findingsRevascularization is indicated in patients with stable ischemic heart disease and progressive or refractory symptoms, despite medical management. When guided by ischemia presence, revascularization has failed to show survival benefit, compared with medical therapy alone in multiple clinical trials. On the other hand, revascularization guided by coronary lesion severity, assessed by FFR or iFR, has been shown to offer survival benefit and improvement in symptom severity. PCI-revascularization of unprotected left main disease is feasible with comparable to surgical approach outcomes. Clinical decision to perform revascularization in stable ischemic heart disease necessitates a heart team approach, and no simple algorithm can guide this process. Further studies are required to assess the benefit of routine revascularization, in combination to medical therapy, in this population.
