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

Although studies have reported various patterns of atherosclerotic aortic plaques (AAPs) detected by non-obstructive aortic angioscopy (NOA), the long-term outcomes associated with AAPs such as puff-chandelier rupture atheromatous plaque (PCR), remain unclear. This study investigated the long-term prognostic significance of AAPs detected by NOA in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This retrospective multicenter cohort study included 167 patients who underwent PCI and NOA. The association between AAPs and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were assessed. MACE was categorized into: MACE1, including cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and ischemia-driven unplanned revascularization; and MACE2, including cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and stroke. There were no NOA-related complications. Of all AAPs, only PCR showed a significant prognostic value during the follow-up period (mean follow-up period: 6.3 years [range 5.9-6.6]). In multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis, PCR was an independent predictor of MACE (MACE1; HR 1.91, 95% CI 1.04-3.49, P = 0.04, MACE2; hazard ratio [HR] 4.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23-16.57, P = 0.02). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that PCR was significantly associated with MACE. NOA during PCI is safe and feasible. Detecting PCR by NOA may provide reliable information for identifying patients at high risk of subsequent long-term adverse events after PCI.
