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 aortocoronary dissection (IACD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention or diagnostic angiography. The increasing complexity of interventions, especially cases involving chronic total occlusions, calcified lesions, and aggressive balloon dilation, has heightened the risk of IACD. It is often underreported, with an estimated incidence of 0.02% to 0.10%. CASE PRESENTATION: We present 4 patients with IACD who were managed at our institute in 2024. The right coronary artery was the most frequently involved vessel, and type III IACD was the most common variant. Management strategies included stenting for 50% of patients and conservative management for 50%; no patient required surgical intervention.

conclusionsAll patients remained stable and were doing well at follow-up. Our case series provides valuable insights into the risk factors, clinical presentation, and management of IACD, highlighting the importance of prevention, early recognition, and tailored treatment strategies to optimize patient outcomes.
