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

IMAGE(S): Intracoronary imaging is useful in evaluating iatrogenic left main coronary artery dissection. However, the optimal initial wiring direction remains unclear. CASE SUMMARY: We report 4 cases of iatrogenic left main coronary artery dissection caused by coronary catheters. In all cases, the dissection entry was on the epicardial side, and the true lumen was located on the myocardial side. Bench analysis showed that commonly used left coronary catheters consistently aligned toward the epicardial side. These findings suggest that wiring toward the myocardial side in the left anterior oblique projection may enable rapid restoration of flow. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Wiring toward the myocardial side may facilitate rapid access to the true lumen in iatrogenic left main dissection.
