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

The heart team (HT) is a multidisciplinary team that performs a comprehensive review of patients with complex cardiac issues, collaborates on potential treatment options, and provides the patient with treatment recommendations. Despite strong guideline support and HT's ubiquitous presence, data on how to operationally design, implement, and measure the success of an HT remain limited. This, in turn, has led to wide variability in how HT are instituted. This review examines the development and strategy toward operationalizing HT to help identify potential barriers to HT development and growth. The HT itself is the culmination of a complex care process with the goal of adopting an integrated, patient-centric HT approach to treatment decisions in the care of patients with complex coronary artery disease.
