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

backgroundManaging calcified nodules remains a clinical challenge. CASE SUMMARY: A 77-year-old man underwent coronary angiography during pre-transcatheter aortic valve implantation workout, showing a severe middle right coronary artery stenosis associated with a suspicious angiographic calcified nodule. Excimer laser was used for plaque preparation and for facilitating subsequent optical coherence tomography intracoronary imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Excimer laser coronary angioplasty was successfully performed, with a good final PCI result. DISCUSSION: This case illustrates the practical application of a niche device (eg, excimer laser coronary angioplasty) as a useful tool to tackle calcified nodules and to allow a state-of-the-art PCI.
