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

Coronary artery dissection is a common complication in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The bailout procedure from coronary artery dissection is relatively simple if a guidewire remains within the true lumen. However, if the guidewire migrates into a dissection cavity separated by a calcified plaque, the bailout procedure is more difficult even for experienced interventional cardiologists. In this case report, we provide a bailout procedure for complicated coronary artery dissection, in which the guidewire was pushed out from the true lumen to the false lumen behind calcified plaque. The knowledge of guidewire bias and intravascular ultrasound-guided PCI was useful and the technique to strengthen the back-up support was necessary for the successful bailout. Learning objective: Guidewire migration into the false lumen behind a calcified plaque is a rare complication, but the knowledge of a bailout method using guidewire bias and intravascular ultrasound is important.
