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

Patients with coronary artery bypass surgery will invariably experience graft failure. In this setting, treatment of the native vessel is recommended. After successful native vessel intervention, competitive flow from a patent graft may limit the durability of native vessel intervention, and thus therapeutic graft closure is usually recommended. Graft closure is frequently achieved with coils, but a recognized complication with coils is distal embolization during or after deployment. The presence of disease or tortuosity in grafts may allow stable deployment of coils and prevent this. However, with relatively patent grafts, it may be difficult to deploy coils without a risk of embolization. To overcome this problem, we propose a new technique where we strategically deploy and fashion a partially crushed stent in the body of the graft to serve as a plug to hold coils and prevent distal embolization, called the CRISP (CRushed In situ Stent Plug) technique.
