Drug-Eluting Stents: Their Preventative/Prophylactic Role Against Gemcitabine Induced Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a subdivision of ischemic cardiac disease, is the sudden occlusion of coronary vessels that results in decreased blood supply to heart muscles and possible infarction. Though some of the etiologies are hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and tobacco; certain types of chemotherapies play a major role. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has shown lifesaving results via drug-eluting stent (DES) deployment into occluded vessels. In this study, DES utilization among patients receiving chemotherapy will be assessed to observe if it provides any prevention against ACS. Articles were systematically screened in three databases such as PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) using keywords and Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms for applicable articles. Additionally, a few relevant articles from the Cochrane Library, Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI), and The New England Journal of Medicine were also used. Inclusion/exclusion criteria were applied post article screening via title and abstracts. Quality appraisal check was done using the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA) checklist, A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) checklist, Cochrane bias assessment tool, and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist. Ten related studies were strictly reviewed. DES did not appear to play a preventable role against ACS during chemotherapy as no study was found assessing DES prophylactically and its efficacy in cancer patients. Future clinical trials on DES prophylactic use might be beneficial to evaluate if ACS adversities of chemotherapy can be prevented. This review is of significant benefit as cardiovascular adversities would not impede chemotherapy efficacy as cardiac adversities would not be part of the equation.
