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

Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has radically transformed the scope of treating coronary artery disease with stenting, stent thrombosis (STh) remains a feared complication. Very late STh, a rare complication after PCI, refers to STh occurring greater than one year after post-stent implantation. An even rarer phenomenon, "very" very late stent thrombosis (VVLST), is described in the literature as STh occurring more than five years post-stent implantation. To our knowledge, there are only 10 case reports and one case series describing VVLST. We discuss two additional complex clinical cases of VVLST presenting as ST-elevation myocardial infarction. We highlight epidemiology, pathophysiology, presentation, diagnostic methods, treatment approach, associated complications, and the need for more extensive future work to minimize the risk of VVLST.
