Real-Time IVUS Guided (RTIG) Ostial Stenting: A Step-by-Step Guide.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveOstial coronary lesions can be challenging to manage and have higher rates of target lesion failure. We describe the novel technique of real-time intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided stenting to optimize ostial stent placement. KEY STEPS: The key steps are: 1) Wire the target vessel and side branch, and prepare the lesion based on IVUS appearances. 2) Deliver the stent in beyond the target vessel lesion. 3) Pass the IVUS catheter into the side branch. 4) Withdraw the stent to a near-ostial position angiographically. 5) Withdraw the IVUS transducer to where the ostium is visible. 6) Deploy the stent. 7) Withdraw the IVUS catheter first. 8) Postdilate the stent. 9) Take a final IVUS run and angiogram. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: The technique requires at least a 7-F guide catheter and a 5-F IVUS catheter. The main learning curve is understanding the IVUS appearances of the stent delivery system. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Real-time IVUS guidance is an effective and teachable technique to allow accurate placement of ostial side branch stents.
