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: We aimed to explore the predictive factors and one-year clinical outcomes following contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion lesions (CTO-PCI). Methods: Consecutive patients from January 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), which included all-cause death and myocardial infarction, while target vessel revascularization (TVR) was defined as the secondary endpoint, all of which were measured at 12 months. Results: 891 consecutive patients underwent 1,010 CTO PCIs. Of these 871 patients meeting the inclusion criteria accepted the index CTO PCI and 96.8% of these cases were available with one-year follow-up data ( Conclusion: Patients deserve acceptable outcomes with a low incidence of adverse events after one year following contemporary CTO PCI. Strategies solving with proximal ambiguity cap and shortening guide-wire manipulation time are conducive to decreasing TVR.
