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

backgroundCoronary perforation is a feared complication of chronic total occlusion-percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO-PCI), especially in large vessel perforations, which often require implantation of covered stents (CS). However, the deployment of multiple CSs may not always be effective. Therefore, identifying the underlying formation mechanism and providing feasible solutions are very meaningful. CASE PRESENTATION: This case presented an Ellis II grade perforation during the mid-left anterior descending (LAD) artery segment during LAD CTO recanalization. Three CS were implanted around the perforation site. However, continuous extravasation persisted even after adequate post-dilation for CS. After identifying the potential fistulous perforation inlet, one drug-eluting stent (DES) was deployed from the distal left main trunk (LMT) to the proximal LAD to successfully seal the fistulous inlet and effectively resolve the effusion.

conclusionPrecisely identifying the existing fistulous perforation and sealing its inlet can effectively reduce the need for deployment of CS.
