Techniques to Overcome Difficulty in Device Deliverability to Lesion in Complex PCI.
Review in Current cardiology reviews, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has revolutionized the management of Coronary Artery Disease and has become the preferred modality of revascularization in a majority of cases. Nevertheless, situations are encountered frequently where device deliverability to coronary lesions entails technical difficulties due to varied anatomies and lesional complexities like tortuosity, calcifications, length of lesions and vessel morphology. While continuous technological refinements are occurring in PCI hardware armamentarium and stent designs, a number of techniques and their modifications and variations have evolved to increase the applicability of PCI to difficult lesions. The present article envisages a thorough review of all aspects of improving successful device deliverability in complex PCI with prominent emphasis on increasing the backup support of Guide Catheters which is the primary factor of success in difficult coronary lesions.
