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

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an effective method for coronary revascularization, however, alongside its benefits, it can be accompanied by complications. Catheter induced coronary artery dissection (CICAD) is rare and the consequences can be devastating if left untreated. The incidence has been reported to be as low as 0.1%. Also, propagation of the dissection to the aortic root remains uncommon. The mechanism of dissection is related to mechanical injury to the arterial wall during manipulation with the catheter or wire. It may also occur due to injection of contrast, stenting or balloon dilation. Timely recognition is important in these cases to facilitate optimal patient outcomes which is usually accomplished with stenting. Herein, we report a rare case of a 68-year-old female with multivessel coronary artery disease who presented for routine left heart catheterization and developed catheter induced right coronary artery (RCA) dissection with propagation towards the aortic root which was treated with stenting and watchful waiting.
