Absolute zero-contrast percutaneous coronary intervention under intravascular ultrasound guidance in chronic kidney disease patients - From despair to hope?
Article in International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Zero contrast percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reduces contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), and it improves the outcome of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing PCI. Objectives: We sought to assess the safety and short-term outcomes of 'absolute' zero-contrast PCI under intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance in CKD patients. Methods: Data from all consecutive CKD patients who were included for absolute zero contrast PCI during the period of June 2020 to March 2021 were included in this analysis. Clinical characteristics, angiographic, IVUS and procedural data, and follow-up data were analyzed. Results: Totally 42 patients (66 vessels) with the mean age of 69.04 ± 11.9 years, were included for absolute zero-contrast PCI. The mean serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were 2.67 ± 1.46 mgs% and 30.67 ± 12.26 ml/min/1.73 m Conclusion: IVUS guided 'absolute' zero-contrast PCI is feasible and safe CKD patients. Even in complex lesion morphologies, the procedure can be completed without any contrast and complications.
