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

Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is the most challenging subset in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but the optimal selection of patients and indication for such procedures remain a subject of debate. We sought to investigate the role of physiological function in treatment decisions of CTO PCI by measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) and Dynamic SPECT imaging in this study. Methods: All the FFR of CTO vessel were measured before and immediately after CTO revascularization, and Dynamic SPECT imaging were detected before PCI in patients with an identified CTO. Results: A total of 53 patients with single-vessel CTO lesions were included in this cohort study. The mean FFR value was 0.34 ± 0.09 at baseline. Immediately after successful CTO PCI, the FFR value significantly increased to 0.79 ± 0.11. The regional coronary flow reserve (CFR) of CTO vessels was 1.62 ± 0.64, which was significantly and positively correlated with the baseline FFR value ( Conclusions: A significant correlation was found between the CFR derived from dynamic SPECT and baseline FFR. An FFR of <0.35 before CTO PCI can be taken as the cutoff for the presence of inducible ischemia, which was a useful index for therapy options.
