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

introductionThe SYNTAX Score (SS) evaluates the angiographic complexity of coronary artery disease to assess the cardiovascular risk after coronary revascularization. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether SS results are associated with in-hospital and 1-year outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) requiring rotational atherectomy (RA). MATERIAL AND

methodsWe analyzed data of 207 consecutive patients who underwent PCI with RA. Patients were divided into two groups: those with high SS (> 33 points) and those with low/intermediate SS (0-33 points).

resultsIn 21 (10%) patients SS was high and 186 (90%) patients had low/intermediate SS. Patients with high SS were older (76 vs. 71 years,

conclusionsIn our RA patients there was no significant difference between the frequency of in-hospital and 1-year adverse cardiovascular events depending on the SS result. High SS correlates only with parameters describing the extensity and technical complexity of the procedure. However, the unavailability of other risk assessment tools in this population raises the need to create a new more specific risk score for patients requiring RA.
