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

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for complex lesions is still technically demanding and is associated with less favorable procedural parameters such as lower success rate, longer procedural time, higher contrast volume and unexpected complications. Because the conventional angiographic analysis is limited by the inability to visualize the plaque information and the occluded segment, cardiac computed tomography has evolved as an adjunct to invasive angiography to better characterize coronary lesions to improve success rates of PCI. Adding to routine image reconstructions by coronary computed tomography angiography, the thin-slab maximum intensity projection method, which is a handy reconstruction technique on an ordinary workstation, could provide easy-to-understand images to reveal the anatomical characteristics and the lumen and plaque information simultaneously, and then assist to build an in-depth strategy for PCI. Especially in the treatment of chronic total occlusion lesion, these informations have big advantages in the visualization of the morphologies of entry and exit, the occluded segment and the distribution of calcium compared to invasive coronary angiography. Despite of the additional radiation exposure, contrast use and cost for cardiac computed tomography, the precise analysis of lesion characteristics would consequently improve the procedural success and prevent the complication in complex PCI.
