Side Branch is the Main Determinant Factor of Bifurcation Lesion Complexity: Critical Review with a Proposal Based on Single-centre Experience.
Review in Heart international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Although bifurcation stenting can be often managed with a simple provisional approach, in some settings, more complex techniques are appropriate. Based on our clinical experience and on data from literature, we propose a simple algorithm that may assist in selecting cases for elective double stenting. We found that, when the side branch is of adequate dimensions and affected by significant disease (longer than 10 mm and/or with presence of ostial calcifications), double stenting is associated with a lower incidence of adverse events, compared with provisional stenting.
