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

Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions contain various collateral channels. Only a few reports have described CTO with collateral channels from the bronchial arteries. Case summary: Herein, we report the case of a 59-year-old man with a left circumflex (LCX) coronary artery CTO with collateral channels from the bronchial arteries. The J-CTO score was 1. After confirming myocardial viability and myocardial ischaemia using a stress myocardial perfusion imaging test, we performed percutaneous coronary intervention for the CTO lesion. Successful revascularization was achieved by adopting the antegrade approach with the angiogram guidance of distal visualization using the bronchial artery. Discussion: Notably, there are no other reports of LCX CTO with collateral channels from the bronchial artery. Distal visualization of the distal true lumen is essential for the success of the antegrade approach. Furthermore, appropriate distal visualization helps to avoid unnecessary retrograde approaches and reduce complications.
