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

We present the case of a 68-year-old man with stable angina and complex multivessel coronary artery disease. Computed tomography revealed a critically calcified stenosis of the left anterior descending artery and an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus, with an interarterial course and severe calcification. Following initial revascularisation of the left anterior descending artery using rotational atherectomy, the right coronary artery was treated in a staged procedure. Because the severe stenosis and challenging ostial anatomy precluded advancement of an intracoronary imaging catheter, angiography-guided intravascular lithotripsy was performed. This approach enabled effective plaque modification and the successful implantation of two drug-eluting stents, with an optimal angiographic result. This case highlights the safety and effectiveness of intravascular lithotripsy as an alternative treatment for anomalous coronary anatomy and severely calcified lesions when intracoronary imaging guidance is not feasible.
