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

Coronary artery ectasia is associated with adverse cardiac events. It presents significant challenges to percutaneous coronary intervention, with higher risks of no reflow. Moreover, conventional PCI strategies may not be suitable. In this case report, we showcase how we treated a patient with coronary artery ectasia and NSTEMI with a novel application of a "double-barrel" drug-coated balloon (DCB) strategy. The patient recovered well post PCI and has since remained chest pain-free. Relook at coronary angiography at 9 months showed a widely patent vessel with evidence of late lumen gain after DCB treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of such an approach.
