Intracoronary imaging for left main percutaneous coronary intervention: a clinical consensus statement of the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) of the ESC and the European Bifurcation Club (EBC).
Article in European heart journal, 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
Left main disease represents one of the most complex lesion subsets for percutaneous coronary intervention, associated with an increased risk of serious late complications. The recent endorsement of intracoronary imaging for the guidance of left main bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention in both acute and chronic coronary syndrome, with respective recommendations in American and European guidelines, reflects the results of recent studies. Patient benefit can only be realized through the interventional community embracing the need for intracoronary imaging-guided planning, guidance and optimization of left main stenting. This clinical consensus statement summarizes the views of a global expert panel, coordinated by the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI), in collaboration with the European Bifurcation Club (EBC). The document includes an appraisal of the most contemporary evidence and provides clinical guidance on how to maximize the benefit of intravascular ultrasound or optical coherence tomography in the treatment of left main bifurcation disease.
