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

Objectives: We aimed to develop a streamlined algorithm for the management of intracoronary calcification that includes guidance on intracoronary imaging and the appropriate selection of atherectomy devices. Methods: National experts representing both the National Heart Center (NHC) and the Saudi Arabian Cardiac Interventional Society (SACIS) met to develop a consensus document on the assessment and management of intracoronary calcification in Saudi Arabia. The nominal group technique was utilized; a number of statements on the assessment and management of coronary artery calcification were developed based on a systematic review of the literature. The authors discussed the developed statements until a consensus was reached. Results: Twenty statements were discussed and agreed upon. Invasive and non-invasive imaging modalities in the assessment of coronary artery calcification, and management of intracoronary calcification using calcium ablation techniques, excimer laser coronary atherectomy, ballon-based techniques, and shockwave lithotripsy; were all thoroughly discussed in light of scientific evidence and the experts' clinical practice. Conclusions: We present a national consensus on the assessment and the multifaceted management of intracoronary calcification in Saudi Arabia.
