A case of percutaneous coronary intervention of the right coronary artery in a situs inversus patient with foreshortening of lesion revealed by intravenous ultrasound imaging technology.

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
Situs inversus totalis is a rare anomaly in which the internal organs are transposed oppositely as mirror images. Due to its rarity, interventionalists are less likely to be acquainted with angiography in this unique population. In the case of lesion ambiguity, different invasive diagnostic tools can be used to further evaluate lesion severity, including fractional flow reserve, instantaneous wave-free ratio and intravenous ultrasound (IVUS). In this case, we discuss the usefulness of IVUS as a beneficial tool in evaluation of angiographically ambiguous lesions due to foreshortening. Dextrocardia presents unique challenges to the interventional cardiologist secondary to difficulty in acquiring adequate views and unfamiliarity with mirroring of anatomy, and thus angiography can result in inaccurately assessed lesions. We demonstrate how IVUS can be used in evaluation of such lesions for more accurate evaluation, precision in stent placement and in turn better patient outcomes.
