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: Coronary stent infection (CSI) is rare but can be fatal. In Case Summary: An 83-year-old woman underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for a severely calcified right coronary ostial lesion. After rotational atherectomy, a DES was implanted, and final angiography showed adequate expansion. On hospital day 7, cellulitis developed at a peripheral intravenous catheter site. Blood and skin cultures grew methicillin-resistant Discussion: This case raises the possibility that a recently implanted DES may serve as an occult endovascular focus during SAB. Negative follow-up blood cultures, defervescence, normalized inflammatory markers, and unrevealing imaging may not exclude CSI; persistent or recurrent chest symptoms after recent PCI should prompt targeted reassessment.
