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: Accumulated experience combined with technological advancements in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) over the past four decades, has led to a gradual increase in PCI utilization and complexity. We aimed to investigate the temporal trends in PCI complexity and the outcomes of complex PCI (C-PCI) in our institution. Methods: We analyzed 20,301 consecutive PCI procedures performed over a 12-year period. C-PCI was defined as a procedure involving at least one of the following: Chronic total occlusion (CTO), left main (LM), bifurcation or saphenous vein graft (SVG) PCI. Four periods of 3-year time intervals were defined (2008-10, 2011-2013, 2014-2016, 2017-2019), and temporal trends in the rate and outcomes of C-PCI within these intervals were studied. Endpoints included mortality and major adverse cardiac events [MACE: death, acute myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization (TVR)] at 1 year. Results: A total of 5,647 (27.8%) C-PCI procedures were performed. The rate of C-PCI has risen significantly since 2,017 (31.2%, Conclusion: In the current cohort, we have detected a temporal increase in PCI complexity coupled with improved 1-year clinical outcomes in C-PCI.
