Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: Latest Evidence.
Review in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purpose of reviewThis paper provides a synopsis of the best evidence to guide bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with a focus on recent studies. This is with the aim of guiding the interventional cardiologist in choosing the best, evidence-based technique, to treat commonly encountered coronary bifurcations. RECENT
findingsCurrent evidence supports the use of provisional stenting for most anatomically suitable bifurcation lesions. Newer techniques for side branch protection in provisional stenting have been developed. When a two-stent strategy is required, use of a double-kissing crush technique is favoured, particularly in left main bifurcations. For bifurcation PCI, as in all complex procedures, intravascular imaging plays a key adjunctive role in improving procedural success. PCI for coronary bifurcation lesions is an ever-growing field with significant advancements in techniques and technology.
