Comparison of SYNTAX and Gensini Scores in the Decision of Surgery or Percutaneous Revascularization in Patients With Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
introductionMany scoring systems have been developed to determine the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with multi-vessel disease. The most widely used of these are Synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with Taxus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) and Gensini scoring. Gensini scoring system can successfully show coronary plaque burden. In our study, we aimed to test the predictive power of SYNTAX and Gensini scores for surgical or percutaneous intervention decisions made by the cardiac team in patients with three-vessel disease.
methodsA total of 476 patients without ST-elevation myocardial infarction with the three-vessel disease were included in the study. SYNTAX and Gensini scores of the patients were calculated from their coronary angiographies. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-curve) analysis was performed using both scores.
resultsBoth the SYNTAX score and Gensini score were able to predict heart team decisions (AUC: 0.759, 0.680; p<0.001). Diabetes and smoking were more common in patients who were decided to have surgery (p<0.001).
conclusionIn the light of our study results, the decisions to be made with the SYNTAX score will be closer to the decisions of the heart team than the Gensini score.
