Article in Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Coronary atherosclerotic lesions at the ostium and proximal coronary arteries pose significant challenges in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), especially in the left main coronary artery (LMCA). Guide catheter-induced damage can lead to severe complications such as vessel dissection or myocardial infarction. Ostial stent placement with drug-eluting stents offers mechanical support and reduces restenosis but is technically challenging due to the anatomical complexity of the ostium. Complications like longitudinal stent deformation and hydraulic dissection from contrast media are specific concerns. The aortic free-floating wire technique, expanded in this article to Wire in Aorta for Localization and Protection of the Ostium (WALPO), provides a method for safely locating and protecting the ostium during PCI, aiming to improve the safety and efficacy of PCI at this location.
