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
Background: The mechanistic association between the hydraulic forces generated during contrast injection and the risk of coronary injury is poorly understood. In this study, we sought to evaluate whether contrast injections increase intracoronary pressures beyond resting levels and estimate the risk of hydraulic propagation of coronary dissections. Methods: This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study that included patients with nonculprit, non-flow-limiting coronaries. A continuous 60-second pressure recording was taken at 5 predetermined locations during contrast injections: distal, mid, and proximal vessel, catheter tip, and inside the catheter. The primary end point was the change in intracoronary peak pressure between resting and injections in each location. Results: A total of 269 pressure recordings (58 vessels; 52 patients) were analyzed. Injections led to a small increase in peak pressure in the distal (mean difference, +4.5 mm Hg; 95% CI, 1.5-7.4), mid (mean difference, +4.1 mm Hg; 95% CI, 1.4-6.9), and proximal (mean difference, +5.1 mm Hg; 95% CI, 2.5-7.7) vessel locations, and much higher increases at the catheter tip (mean difference, +11.7 mm Hg; 95% CI, 5.8-17.7) and inside the catheter (mean difference, +77.5 mm Hg; 95% CI, 64.5-90.4). Compared to the distal vessel, pressure changes were only significant at the catheter tip (+10 mm Hg; Conclusions: Contrast injections lead to negligible changes in intracoronary pressures beyond the catheter tip. Although it is sensible to minimize injections when coronary dissections are close to the catheter, it is unlikely that they would cause injuries beyond the catheter tip.
