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 artery perforation (CAP) is an uncommon but serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention, with a mortality rate of 10% to 20%. Its relevance is increasing with procedural complexity and expanded device use. CASE SUMMARY: We present a 10-year, single-center case series of 21 CAP cases, highlighting 5 key cases: type III CAP treated with a covered stent complicated by side branch occlusion; calcified perforation complicated by stent thrombosis; distal wire perforation with fatal outcome; chronic total occlusion-related CAP managed with coiling and surgery; and type IV CAP with delayed deterioration. Overall, type III CAP was most common (52%), and the left anterior descending artery was most frequently involved (57%). Management included covered stent in 71%, coiling in 14%, and surgery in 2 cases. Four patients died, and 2 patients developed stent thrombosis or in-stent restenosis. DISCUSSION: This series emphasizes CAP mechanisms; treatment strategies; and the importance of timely recognition, imaging guidance, and institutional preparedness.
