Coronary Dissection - Back to the Future - Finding Good in the Bad!
Review in Heart international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
It has been recognized for decades that dissections occur as a mechanism of balloon angioplasty. A successful angioplasty result contains some degree of intimal splitting and disruption, which usually heals well. Nonetheless, some dissections are extensive, leading to serious ischaemic complications. The concept of therapeutic coronary dissection started evolving in the 1970s and seems to be a favourable mechanism for drug delivery in the current era of drug-coated balloons. This article will primarily focus on studies undertaken to understand the mechanism of balloon angioplasty and the morphological changes in the plaque post-balloon angioplasty. In the early days of balloon angioplasty, there was an enormous interest in dissections, mainly to prevent acute vessel closure events and to address the importance of their occurrence in relation to vessel restenosis. We will review the historical background, studies defining the clinical, angiographic and morphological patterns of the dissection spectrum and various currently evolving management strategies.
