Prognostic value of ΔSYNTAX% score in octogenarians undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2023. 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
objectivesTo verify whether incomplete revascularisation (IR), quantified using the rSYNTAX (Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score and ΔSYNTAX% score, could predict short- (in-hospital mortality) and long-term outcomes (12-month mortality) in octogenarians undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS &
resultsA retrospective analysis of 665 consecutive octogenarian patients presenting for PCI to a UK centre was performed. The baseline SYNTAX and rSYNTAX scores were assessed from angiographic images. ΔSYNTAX% score was calculated (ΔSYNTAX% = ((SYNTAX - rSYNTAX)/SYNTAX) × 100%)) to measure the relative completeness of revascularisation. Kaplan-Meier analysis assessed survival at 12 months by tertiles of rSYNTAX and ΔSYNTAX% scores. Increasing ΔSYNTAX% score was associated with reduced in-hospital mortality (
conclusionsEnhancing the completeness of revascularisation in octogenarians selected to undergo PCI is associated with a lower in-hospital mortality and a survival benefit at 12 months.
