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

Introduction: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) remains the gold standard for functional evaluation in coronary artery disease (CAD). However, non-hyperemic indices, such as diastolic pressure ratio (dPR) and resting full-cycle ratio (RFR), are increasingly utilized in clinical practice. Data on the safety and long-term outcomes of deferred revascularization based on these indices remain limited. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the safety of deferred revascularization in patients with CAD using dPR and RFR indices. Material and methods: Between January and June 2022, all consecutive patients undergoing functional coronary evaluations at a large tertiary hospital were screened. Primary endpoints included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization (TVR), along with individual endpoints at 1-year follow-up. Results: Of 321 patients evaluated, 290 met the eligibility criteria, and 204 underwent deferred revascularization based on non-hyperemic assessments. The cohort had a mean age of 68.2 years (SD ±8.9), with 76.8% male. Chronic coronary syndrome (57.2%), unstable angina (13.8%), and heart failure (9.3%) were the primary indications for coronary angiography. Among 230 lesions assessed with dPR and 243 with RFR, positive findings were observed in 17.4% and 13.2%, respectively ( Conclusions: Deferred revascularization guided by dPR and RFR appears safe, with outcomes comparable to FFR-guided decisions in the literature. Larger randomized trials are needed to confirm these findings.
