Efficacy of IVUS-guided stent implantation in patients with complex CAD: a meta-analysis based on RCTs.

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
Background: This study is to investigate the efficacy of stent implantation in patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD) under intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance and non-IVUS guidance. Methods: We conducted a systematic search in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochran, and Embase for the articles of IVUS-guided and non-IVUS-guided stent implantation in patients with complex CAD and reported related outcomes. We included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac death and other outcome indicators. Relative ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 5,173 subjects were included in 6 randomized control trials. The results showed that the incidence of MACE (RR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.49-0.82, Conclusions: Compared with the non-IVUS-guided group, IVUS-guided stent implantation may be more effective for patients with complex CAD.
