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

backgroundPerforation of a major epicardial coronary artery during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) is potentially lethal. SUMMARY: Here the authors present a novel treatment strategy for managing a perforation in the bifurcation core with a complex 2-stent technique using polyurethane-covered stents. Specialized equipment for chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions was used for recanalization of the main vessel and side branch. The procedure was tested in a bench setting and validated using 3-dimensional optical coherence tomography and micro-computed tomography. DISCUSSION: The case emphasizes the need for complex CTO-PCI techniques in the treatment of acute non-CTO PCI. NOVELTY: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a complex bifurcation technique for treatment of an epicardial perforation. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: It is feasible to treat an epicardial perforation in the bifurcation core with an advanced 2-stent technique. Ex vivo training for rare and severe complications may improve procedural outcome.
