Intravascular Imaging Findings After PCI in Patients With Focal and Diffuse Coronary Artery Disease.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT03782688 (Prospective Evaluation of a Virtual Non-invasive Percutaneous Intervention Planner in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundFollowing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), optical coherence tomography provides prognosis information. The pullback pressure gradient is a novel index that discriminates focal from diffuse coronary artery disease based on fractional flow reserve pullbacks. We sought to investigate the association between coronary artery disease patterns, defined by coronary physiology, and optical coherence tomography after stent implantation in stable patients undergoing PCI. METHODS AND
resultsThis multicenter, prospective, single-arm study was conducted in 5 countries (NCT03782688). Subjects underwent motorized fractional flow reserve pullbacks evaluation followed by optical coherence tomography-guided PCI. Post-PCI optical coherence tomography minimum stent area, stent expansion, and the presence of suboptimal findings such as incomplete stent apposition, stent edge dissection, and irregular tissue protrusion were compared between patients with focal versus diffuse disease. Overall, 102 patients (105 vessels) were included. Fractional flow reserve before PCI was 0.65±0.14, pullback pressure gradient was 0.66±0.14, and post-PCI fractional flow reserve was 0.88±0.06. The mean minimum stent area was 5.69±1.99 mm
conclusionsBaseline coronary pathophysiological patterns are associated with suboptimal imaging findings after PCI. Patients with focal disease had larger minimum stent area and a higher incidence of tissue protrusion, whereas stent malapposition was more frequent in patients with diffuse disease.
