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

objectiveTo present a reproducible bailout technique using anchor wire stabilization in the left anterior descending artery for accessing aorto-ostial right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion with anomalous origin in inferior-right ventricular ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock. KEY STEPS: 1) Anchor a 6-F Amplatz left 1.0 guiding catheter in the left coronary system with a Sion guidewire for stability. 2) Perform controlled clockwise rotation and probing of the aortic root using a Runthrough guidewire to cross the occluded anomalous RCA ostium. 3) Perform balloon angioplasty followed by stent implantation to achieve TIMI flow grade 3 and hemodynamic stabilization. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: The Amplatz left catheter and/or stiffer wires could jeopardize the aortic root and coronary ostium. Early aortography is recommended if the RCA appears "absent" on nonselective injections to detect ostial occlusion and/or anomalies. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Acute aorto-ostial occlusion of an anomalous RCA may cause inferior-right ventricular STEMI and apparent angiographic "absence". This anchor-assisted probing maneuver offers a safe, effective bailout strategy for difficult coronary access in unstable patients.
