Real-Time IVUS-Guided Precision Stenting of the Ostial Left Anterior Descending Artery.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundAccurate stent placement in ostial left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesions is challenging, as angiography alone often misidentifies the true ostial plane. CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old woman with unstable angina and significant ostial LAD stenosis underwent percutaneous coronary intervention after declining surgery. Real-time intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging from the ramus ostium was used to visualize the LAD ostial plane continuously while withdrawing the stent. Precise alignment of the proximal stent edge with the true ostium was achieved and confirmed by final IVUS, demonstrating adequate expansion and absence of left main protrusion. DISCUSSION: Real-time IVUS guidance enables direct visualization of the carina, plaque edge, and ostial plane, facilitating accurate positioning and minimizing geographic miss. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Continuous IVUS visualization from a side branch provides a practical strategy for millimetric accuracy during ostial LAD stenting.
