Diagnosis and treatment of angiographically unclear coronary lesions.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Although selective coronary angiography is the gold standard diagnostic technique for coronary lesions, this method does not provide all information regarding pathophysiologic mechanisms. We herein describe a patient in their early 60s with a 3-month history of pronounced angina. Coronary angiography revealed a central line of illumination in the proximomedial segment of the right coronary artery, suggesting a chronic coronary dissection/recanalized thrombus, along with positive remodeling and TIMI grade 2 flow. Optical coherence tomography showed a recanalized thrombus and multiple lumens separated by thin septa. Because of the significantly reduced flow and signs of ischemia in the right coronary artery irrigation territory, we decided to perform percutaneous coronary intervention. Post-treatment optical coherence tomography indicated optimal apposition and expansion of the stents with positive remodeling of the blood vessel. We believe that decisions regarding treatment modalities should be guided by the presence or absence of ischemia. Lesions that are causing myocardial ischemia should be revascularized; otherwise, medical treatment can be utilized.
