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

Background: Bifurcation stenting of the coronary arteries represents a technical challenge that places patients at risk for poor outcomes. Existing techniques result in multiple stent layers at the neocarina, making for a challenging side branch recross and necessitating multiple kissing balloon inflations. This article presents a novel bifurcation stenting technique that provides full side branch coverage while maintaining carinal geometry, with an easier side branch recross and less technical complexity. Clinical outcomes at 1-year were investigated. Methods: Feasibility of the technique was demonstrated in a wet heart model. A retrospective cohort study was then performed of patients undergoing jailed stent-balloon bifurcation stenting at a single tertiary academic center. The primary end point was a composite of target lesion revascularization (TLR), target lesion myocardial infarction (TLMI), and cardiac death at 1 year postprocedurally. Results: The primary composite outcome occurred in 13 (7.9%) cases who underwent jailed stent-balloon bifurcation stenting. At 1 year, TLR occurred in 9 (5.4%) cases, TLMI in 3 (1.8%) cases, and cardiac death in 3 (1.8%) cases. In patients with left main bifurcation disease, the primary composite outcome occurred in 6 (9.5%) cases, TLR in 3 (4.8%) cases, TLMI in 2 (3.2%) cases, and cardiac death in 3 (4.8%) cases. Conclusions: Jailed stent-balloon bifurcation stenting appears to be safe, feasible, and effective. Although not directly comparable, it appears to have similar clinical outcomes to existing bifurcation stenting techniques despite its reduced technical complexity.
