1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMultiple plaque ruptures and erosions, both culprit and remote, have been described and illustrated in the context of acute coronary syndrome. However, there is limited evidence for this phenomenon using optical coherence tomography, the highest resolution intracoronary imaging technology. CASE SUMMARY: In this report, the authors describe by optical coherence tomography, multiple spontaneous plaque erosions and a ruptured plaque, de novo and in-stent, resulting in 2-vessel occlusion in a patient with acute coronary syndrome. DISCUSSION: This case confirms, by means of optical coherence tomography, previous reports of multiple nonculprit plaque erosions and rupture in acute coronary syndrome.
