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
backgroundDespite recommendations in international guidelines, Intracoronary pressure wire assessment (PWA) utilization remains limited in clinical practice. This study aims to describe (i) trends of PWA during Percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI), (ii) factors that predict its application, and (iii) association with in-hospital outcomes.
methodsAdults with PCI for chronic coronary syndrome or Non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome in the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society (BCIS) database from January 2012 to March 2020 were included. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) of PWA predictors and its association with in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE; a composite of total mortality, stroke/transient ischaemic attack, and new/reinfarction) were assessed using logistic regression models.
results303,453 records identified of which 10.74% had PWA. There was a modest rise in the use of PWA from 9.1% in 2012 to peak just over 13% in 2018. Intracoronary imaging (aOR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.18-1.27, p < 0.001), and previous PCI (aOR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.26-1.34, p < 0.001) were positive predictors of PWA. MACCE was lower with PWA (aOR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.62-0.87, p < 0.001) in the overall population. PWA was associated with lower procedural complications (aOR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.84-0.96, P: 0.001).
conclusionPWA remains underutilized in UK real world practice. Among patients undergoing PCI, PWA was associated with lower in-hospital procedural complications and MACCE. It's association with in-hospital MACCE should be viewed as a hypothesis-generating for future studies. Using pressure wire as a performance and a quality metric for PCI might help improve adoption in the future.
