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: Antegrade dissection and reentry (ADR) is an effective technique for wire passage in chronic total occlusion (CTO), and in recent years, the effectiveness of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided tip detection (TD)-ADR has been reported. However, the expansion of the subintimal space serves as a significant obstacle to the success of ADR, posing a limitation to the procedure. Case summary: We present the first case of using IVUS-guided TD-ADR with the subintimal transcatheter withdrawal (STRAW) technique. The patient was a 68-year-old Asian female with effort angina pectoris and a CTO in the middle section of the right coronary artery (RCA). Two previous attempts at percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the RCA at another hospital were unsuccessful. During the third attempt PCI, the antegrade wire migrated into the subintimal space. To address this, we performed IVUS-guided TD-ADR using the Conquest Pro 12 Sharpened Tip (CP12ST; Asahi Intecc, Aichi, Japan) wire. However, due to the expansion of the subintimal space, we were unable to puncture the true lumen. To reduce the subintimal space, we employed the STRAW technique, which allowed successful puncture of the true lumen using the CP12ST wire. Finally, stenting was performed, resulting in satisfactory antegrade blood flow. Discussion: Intravascular ultrasound-guided TD provides accurate guidance for puncturing in ADR procedures, but the expansion of the subintimal space remains a significant challenge. The STRAW technique offers a solution by reducing the subintimal space and enabling successful puncture of the true lumen during IVUS-guided TD-ADR.
