Optical coherence tomography to guide percutaneous coronary intervention.
Review in EuroIntervention : journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been most commonly guided by coronary angiography. However, to overcome the inherent limitations of conventional coronary angiography, there has been an increasing interest in the adjunctive tools of intracoronary imaging for PCI guidance. Recently, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has garnered substantial attention as a valid intravascular imaging modality for guiding PCI. However, despite the unparalleled high-resolution imaging capability of OCT, which offers detailed anatomical information on coronary lesion morphology and PCI optimisation, its broad application in routine PCI practice remains limited. Several factors may have curtailed the widespread adoption of OCT-guided PCI in daily practice, including the transitional challenge from intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), the experienced skill required for image acquisition and interpretation, the lack of a uniform algorithm for OCT-guided PCI optimisation, and the limited clinical evidence. Herein, we provide an in-depth review of OCT-guided PCI, involving the technical aspects, optimal strategies for OCT-guided PCI, and the wide application of OCT-guided PCI in various anatomical subsets. Special attention is given to the latest clinical evidence from recent randomised clinical trials with respect to OCT-guided PCI.
