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

All cardiologists should delve into history to understand the current state of the art of their specialty. In the last century, the coronary stent was a pivotal achievement of research and biotechnological engineering. Since then, technology has advanced, and substantial improvements have been incorporated into this device, which has become the gold standard for treating coronary artery disease. This article summarizes the history of the coronary stent from its inception to the present day. The document reviews key historical and scientific milestones that have contributed to making percutaneous angioplasty a safe and highly effective procedure due to coronary stents. The evolution of the stent has been closely linked to the growth and maturation of interventional cardiology to date.
