Pullback Pressure Gradient-An Emerging Concept in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Fractional flow reserve fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is currently recommended in the management of patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Pullback pressure gradient (PPG) index is an emerging concept that provides a fully quantitative measure of the longitudinal distribution of CAD. It can be derived from FFR, as well as other non-hyperemic indices, and is a novel metric of assessing the focality or diffuseness of CAD. PPG adds a second domain to the assessment of CAD, beyond ischemia as measured by FFR, and may enable clinicians to better inform their patients about the status of their CAD but may also predict potential outcomes before revascularization. In this article, we will provide an in-depth review on the concept of PPG index and its correlation to pre and post revascularization ischemia. We will assess the relationship between PPG index and plaque characteristics and how this is translated into any difference in procedural and long-term clinical outcomes.
