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

There is a growing burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). CVDs such as coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, heart block and others require procedures involving interventional cardiology. However, there is a huge unmet need for catheterization labs and expertise in health facilities in SSA. We highlight the gaps in equitable access, service delivery and the urgent need for strategic collaborations to increase equitable access to interventional cardiology in the content. This review will guide policy making and inspire innovation in SSA to bridge the existing gap in CVDs management.
