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

Background: Ostial lesions of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery are critical targets for revascularization due to their role in supplying a large portion of the myocardium, and are often accompanied by multivessel disease, complicating treatment planning and prognosis. Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center study. Patients with ostial LAD PCI isolated or in conjunction with PCI in another vessel were included and were grouped into isolated ostial LAD PCI ( Results: Participants undergoing multivessel PCI were significantly older, with a median age of 70 years (IQR: 62-77), compared to 68 years (IQR: 59-75) in the isolated ostial LAD PCI group ( Conclusion: In patients undergoing ostial LAD PCI, treatment of an additional vessel did not increase the risk of MACE in long-term follow-up.
