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: Engagement of the guiding catheter (GC) for the coronary artery is sometimes difficult, depending on the patient's anatomy. The most suitable GC before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in individual cases has not been determined yet. Case summary: An 81-year-old woman who had a right coronary artery chronic total occlusion had difficulty to engage the catheter for the right coronary artery in the first examination. Virtual reality (VR)-guided GC simulation before PCI using cardiac computed tomography (CT) could overcome the difficulty of GC engagement for the coronary artery and achieve procedure success. Discussion: VR-guided GC simulation has the potential to solve the catheter approach difficulty for any cardiovascular intervention.
