Real-World Experience of Coronary Bifurcation Stenting in a Single Centre in Western India.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCoronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) are recognised as an intricate form of coronary artery disease. The anatomic complexity and variable flow dynamics at branch points pose unique challenges, often contributing to suboptimal outcomes if not managed appropriately. Introduction of drug-eluting stents (DESs) in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) practice had been a major breakthrough. However, there are some concerns in bifurcation coronary stenting like choice of bifurcation stenting technique and issue related to side branch (SB) occlusion. This study aimed to present the single-centre real-world experience with bifurcation stenting, highlighting procedural strategies, outcomes and learning points from routine clinical practice.
methodsThis descriptive observational study was carried out at a cardiac centre located in western India.
resultsAmong the 70 patients who underwent PCI for CBL, 72.8% were male, mean age being 65.6 ± 2.8 years. Most frequently encountered CBL was in left anterior descending (LAD)/diagonal (n=24, 34.3%). Out of 70 patients, most prevalent CBL subtypes were Medina 1,1,1 (n = 26, 37.1%) and Medina 1,1,0 (n=20, 28.6%), reflecting the predominance of complex anatomical involvement. The most common coronary bifurcation technique utilised was provisional stenting (PS) (n=46, 65.7%), followed by Double-Kissing (DK) crush technique (n=12, 17.1%). Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at one month, six months and one year occurred in 4.3% (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.5-11.9), 7.1% (95% CI: 3.1-15.8) and 7.1% (95% CI: 3.1-15.8) patients, respectively; there was no statistical significance.
conclusionCoronary bifurcation stenting (COBIS), when guided by lesion anatomy, sound strategy selection and meticulous technique, yielded high procedural success and favourable clinical outcomes.
