Comparison of outcomes between single long stent and overlapping stents: a meta-analysis of the literature.
Synthesis in Herz, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesThere is no consensus on whether to treat diffuse coronary artery lesions with a single long stent (SLS) or by overlapping two or more stents (OLS). The goal of this review was to compare the outcomes of these two approaches through a meta-analysis of the literature.
methodsWe searched for relevant studies in MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library. Our meta-analysis included 12 studies (n = 6414) that reported outcomes during the follow-up period.
resultsIndividuals who received OLS had a greater risk of cardiac mortality and target lesion revascularization (TLR) than those who received SLS (RR: 1.51, CI: 1.03-2.21, p = 0.03, I
conclusionIn the first meta-analysis of mainly observational data comparing OLS vs. SLS for long coronary lesions, OLS had higher rates of cardiac mortality and TLR as well as longer fluoroscopy times compared to SLS.
