Revascularization of chronic total occlusion coronary artery and cardiac regeneration.
Review in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) contributes to the progression of heart failure in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Randomized controlled trials demonstrated that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CTO significantly improves angina symptoms and quality of life but fails to reduce clinical events compared with optimal medical therapy. Even so, intervening physicians strongly support CTO-PCI. Cardiac regeneration therapy after CTO-PCI should be a promising approach to improving the prognosis of ischemic cardiomyopathy. However, the relationship between CTO revascularization and cardiac regeneration has rarely been studied, and experimental studies on cardiac regeneration usually employ rodent models with permanent ligation of the coronary artery rather than reopening of the occlusive artery. Limited early-stage clinical trials demonstrated that cell therapy for cardiac regeneration in ischemic cardiomyopathy reduces scar size, reverses cardiac remodeling, and promotes angiogenesis. This review focuses on the
