STEMI: Considerations for Left Main Culprit Lesions.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewThere is a paucity of data regarding the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of patients presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to left main (LM) culprit vessel. RECENT
findingsLM culprit STEMI (LMCSTEMI) is an uncommon, but frequently catastrophic event. Prior meta-analyses and registries have described a varying prevalence of LMCSTEMI, associated cardiogenic shock, and in-hospital mortality among those surviving to hospital presentation. These observed clinical discrepancies may be partially attributable to diverse clinical and angiographical subsets among this STEMI population. STEMI due to LM culprit artery disease represents a clinically high-risk subset of patients with substantial in-hospital mortality. In this paper, we summarize the available clinical data pertaining to STEMI with LM culprit, discuss unique ECG characteristics, and discuss contemporary revascularization therapy. We also report the preliminary findings from a contemporary, STEMI database describing clinical characteristics and angiographically defined subsets of LM culprit STEMI.
