Revascularization in Stable Coronary Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

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 optimal management strategy for stable coronary artery disease (CAD) remains contentious. While revascularization benefits acute coronary syndromes, its role in stable CAD compared with medical therapy (MT) is less clear. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the safety and efficacy of coronary revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] or coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]) versus MT in patients with stable CAD. A systematic search identified randomized trials comparing revascularization with optimal MT in stable CAD. Trials included documented CAD via angiography and excluded acute coronary syndromes. The primary safety endpoint was all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke. The primary efficacy endpoint also included unplanned revascularization, cardiac hospitalization, and major bleeding. The secondary endpoint included the percentage free from angina. Relative risk (RR) was calculated using random-effects models. Ten trials with 14,171 participants were included. There was no difference in the primary safety endpoint (RR 0.96 [0.90-1.03],
