Intracoronary Imaging to Guide PCI in Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Report From the BMC2 Registry.

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
backgroundIntracoronary imaging (ICI) to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) carries a Class I recommendation in US guidelines.
aimsThis analysis evaluated the frequency of ICI use among patients with ACS.
methodsUsing data from a large statewide registry, all patients undergoing PCI between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2024, were studied. The primary measure of interest for this analysis was the use of ICI to guide PCI, defined as the use of ICI after the decision was made to proceed with PCI. The frequency of ICI use among patients with and without ACS was compared, and the trend in ICI use in ACS patients over the study period was examined.
resultsDuring the 6-year study period, 166,238 PCIs were performed at 51 non-federal hospitals in Michigan, of which 90,441 (54.4%) were performed for ACS. ICI was used to guide PCI in 25,234 (27.9%) ACS cases, which was significantly lower than ICI use in 23,999 (31.7%) non-ACS cases (p < 0.001). Over the 6-year study, a progressive and significant increase in ICI use in ACS was observed from 6.5% in the first year to 54.4% in the sixth year of the study (p < 0.001 for trend).
conclusionsDespite its proven benefits in ACS, ICI was used to guide PCI significantly less often among patients presenting with ACS compared with those without ACS. However, the ICI to guide PCI in ACS has increased significantly over time and at a similar pace compared to those without ACS.
