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.
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
Background: It remains unclear how rapidly the collateral circulation regresses after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusion (CTO). This study aimed to investigate the short-term changes of myocardial perfusion in the predominant donor vessel after successful CTO PCI. Methods: A total of 68 patients who underwent single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) assessment before and within 24-72 hours after successful CTO PCI were retrospectively included into this study. The coronary flow reserve (CFR) in the CTO territory and the predominant donor vessel territory were analyzed. Results: The average age of the included patients was 57.1±12.5 years old, and 88.2% were male. In the CTO territory, the CFR increased from 1.80±0.99 at baseline to 2.13±1.02 after PCI (P=0.018). In the predominant donor territory, the CFR at baseline did not significantly differ from that of after PCI (baseline: 2.12±1.09; after-PCI: 2.27±0.78; P=0.214). However, the change in CFR (ΔCFR) of the predominant donor territory was correlated with that in the CTO territory (P<0.001). The target vessel of CTO [left anterior descending artery (LAD) Conclusions: The myocardial perfusion in the predominant donor territory was positively associated with that in the CTO territory. The myocardial perfusion in the predominant donor territory increased within a short-term period after CTO PCI, specifically in those patients with CTO of the LAD.
