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

objectiveWe describe combining the slipstream technique with the tip detection-antegrade dissection and re-entry (TD-ADR) technique using AnteOwl intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for challenging calcified chronic total occlusion lesions when conventional IVUS-guided approaches fail. KEY STEPS: The procedure included the following steps. 1) Confirm on IVUS that the first guidewire is in the subintimal space. 2) Re-insert the AnteOwl IVUS using the first wire lumen only. 3) Advance a Sasuke double-lumen catheter over the same wire to the IVUS tip. 4) Introduce a second guidewire (Conquest Pro 12 Sharpened Tip with 15° bend) through the second wire port. 5) Perform TD-ADR under IVUS guidance to achieve true lumen re-entry. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: IVUS cannot directly visualize the advancement of the microcatheter over the true lumen second guidewire, thus careful fluoroscopic guidance is crucial. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: This combined approach provides an effective bailout strategy when microcatheter advancement fails owing to severe calcification. The dual-lumen design, real-time pullback system, and short tip-to-transducer distance of the AnteOwl IVUS optimizes both the slipstream and TD-ADR techniques simultaneously.
