Non-invasive imaging techniques in patients with coronary chronic total occlusions: A key for successful diagnosis, revascularization, and post-intervention outcomes.

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 occlusions (CTOs) are a common finding on coronary angiograms of patients with coronary artery disease, with an incidence ranging from 15% to 25%. Despite this high incidence, the proper treatment strategy in those patients often remains unclear. There are some observational studies suggesting that successful revascularization of a CTO can reduce angina symptoms, improve quality of life, improve the left ventricular ejection fraction, and lower mortality. However, not all patients will benefit from revascularization. Pre-procedural assessment of left ventricular function, ischemic burden, and viability seems to be crucial for a good outcome of the revascularization. The aim of this review is to compare currently available non-invasive imaging modalities with regard to utility in evaluation of patients with CTOs.
