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

Coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is the most significant cause of morbidity and mortality in heart transplant recipients. Inflammation and endothelial dysfunction caused by graft rejection and viral infections leads to a combination of circumferential intimal fibromuscular hyperplasia, atherosclerosis, and inflammation affecting all layers of the vessel wall. Though obstructive CAV is often asymptomatic, posing a diagnostic challenge in post-transplant patients, early diagnosis and treatment aid faster recovery and improved outcomes. The role of percutaneous coronary intervention in the treatment of CAV is unknown and not well studied in the pediatric population. We present a first-in-human case of ostial left main coronary artery disease managed with flaring of the ostial coronary stent using a Flash ostial balloon in a pediatric patient with history of an orthotopic heart transplant.
