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

backgroundIatrogenic coronary artery dissection (ICAD) is an uncommon and serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), occurring in <1% of cases, potentially leading to abrupt vessel closure, myocardial infarction, or death. CASE SUMMARY: We describe a case of ICAD managed successfully using retrograde PCI without visible collateral channels. The patient had an iatrogenic type D dissection of the right coronary artery, treated effectively with this innovative approach. DISCUSSION: Retrograde PCI has been reported in cases with ICAD and visible septal collateral channels. However, this case demonstrates feasibility even in their absence, avoiding the need for surgical intervention. This case offers valuable insights into managing complex, life-threatening PCI complications and highlights the importance of procedural adaptability to ensure optimal outcomes. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Gentle contrast injection and meticulous coronary wiring minimize ICAD risk. When it occurs, retrograde bailout stenting is a viable option if antegrade approaches fail, in the absence of visible collateral branches.
