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

Over most of the history of interventional cardiology, it has been tacitly assumed that once flow-limiting coronary disease had been documented, angiography was sufficient to plan percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and, subsequently, to decide if an optimal procedural result had been achieved. This view has been challenged by recent studies evaluating the results of PCI with fractional flow reserve and nonhyperemic pressure ratios. Evidence has accumulated showing that suboptimal functional PCI results occur frequently despite a good angiographic result and that they are associated with worse patient outcomes. In this article, we discuss how available coronary physiology tools, either guide wire or image-based, may address this problem by facilitating better procedural planning and PCI precision and optimization.
