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

Introduction: Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is a highly diagnostically accurate non-invasive imaging method for a thorough evaluation of atherosclerotic plaques. Many CCTA-based imaging investigations concentrate on bifurcation lesions. Aim: To determine whether intraprocedural side branch (SB) obstruction during the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of lesions involving bifurcations might be predicted by preprocedural CCTA. Material and methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted on 200 stentable bifurcation lesions of 200 coronary artery disease patients with the SB ≥ 2 mm in diameter. All patients were planned for elective bifurcation PCI after undergoing CCTA for quantitative plaque characterization of both the main vessel and SB to obtain the CT bifurcation score. Then, angiography-based bifurcations were classified using both the Medina classification and the RESOLVE score before PCI of the bifurcation lesions. Most of the cases were managed by the provisional technique. Results: The CT bifurcation score was substantially higher in patients with SB occlusion ( Conclusions: Intraprocedural SB occlusion can be predicted by a comprehensive CCTA evaluation. The CT bifurcation score, a novel and simple points scoring system based on six CCTA parameters, outperformed current angiographic classification or scoring systems for predicting SB occlusion.
