[The heart team for coronary artery disease: perspectives from centers with heart surgery on site].
Article in Herz, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The heart team is an important component for guideline-conform treatment of patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD). Nevertheless, this integrative, multiprofessional approach is not always consistently implemented in clinical practice. This article highlights the role of the heart team, with a particular focus on cardiovascular centers with cardiac surgery on site, presents evidence-based benefits and draws attention to existing structural gaps in daily care, such as the probably widespread use of ad hoc percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in multivessel CAD or the lack of interdisciplinary coordination. Numerous studies have shown that consistently implemented heart team decisions and a culture of professional and evidence-based interaction improve patient outcomes. This article appeals to cardiological and cardiac surgery departments to actively shape the heart team process. The presence of both the heart team and cardiac surgery on site paired with modern possibilities of digital communication tools and the wish for individual treatment recommendations should enable faster heart team decisions (practically ad hoc) to improve patient care.
