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

Hybrid coronary revascularisation (HCR) integrates coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to combine the benefits of minimally invasive surgery and advanced stent technology. Typically, HCR involves off-pump left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending artery (LAD) bypass via minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB), complemented by PCI to non-LAD vessels. This approach avoids a full sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass while preserving the advantages of surgical revascularisation. Patient selection for HCR should be guided by a multidisciplinary heart team, targeting those with severe LAD disease and suitable non-LAD lesions for PCI. This review outlines the surgical techniques, anticoagulation strategies, and procedural sequencing employed in HCR, along with real-world outcomes from observational studies and randomised trials. While current evidence supports the safety and feasibility of HCR in appropriately selected patients, further large-scale randomised trials are needed to clarify its role in comparison to standalone CABG or PCI.
