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

Although coronary angiography is the standard method employed to assess the severity of coronary artery disease and to guide treatment strategies, it provides only 2D image of the intravascular lesions. In contrast, intravascular imaging modalities such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) produce cross-sectional images of the coronary arteries at a far greater spatial resolution, capable of accurately determining vessel size as well as plaque morphology, eliminating many of the disadvantages inherent to angiography. This review will discuss the role of OCT in the catherization laboratory for the assessment and management of coronary disease.
