Comparison of long-term outcomes of medical therapy and successful recanalisation for coronary chronic total occlusions in elderly patients: a report of 1,294 patients.

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
backgroundLittle is known about the long-term outcomes of medical therapy (MT) versus successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in elderly patients with coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs).
methodsThere were 1,294 consecutive patients with 1,520 CTOs included (2007 to 2016) and were divided into the younger group (age <65 years; n=664, 51.3%) and the older group (age ≥65 years; n=630, 48.7%). In the older group, 630 patients were divided into MT group (n=421) and successful CTO-PCI group (n=209) according to the initial treatment strategy. In the younger group, they were divided into two groups: 379 patients in the MT group and 285 patients in the successful CTO-PCI group. We performed propensity score matching to minimize any selection bias. The primary end point was cardiac mortality. The secondary end point was major adverse cardiac event (MACE).
resultsAfter 3.6 (IQR, 2.1-5.0) years follow-up, no significant difference was observed between the MT and successful CTO-PCI groups in terms of cardiac mortality (MT
conclusionsIn the treatment of elderly patients with CTOs, successful CTO-PCI compared with MT alone didn't reduce the risk of cardiac death or MACE.
