Imaging and physiologic characteristics of coronary kinks.
Review in Future cardiology, 2025. 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
Coronary kinking represents an underrecognized diagnosis which typically arises as a complication of invasive cardiovascular procedures but may also be non-iatrogenic and nonatheromatous. Determining the etiology of coronary kinking poses a diagnostic dilemma with limited guidance in the medical literature. A stenotic lesion on invasive coronary angiography (ICA) may be attributable to intrinsic causes, such as atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, coronary vasospasm, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, coronary kinks, and severe tortuosity, or extrinsic causes such as myocardial bridging. Lesions that appear angiographically atypical can be further elucidated with intracoronary imaging using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT), which help distinguish coronary kinks from other mimicking etiologies. Coronary kinks have the potential to cause ischemia, arrhythmia, and other structural complications, underscoring the importance of early and accurate detection. In this review, we summarize and appraise published data on coronary kinks. We also share a diagnostic schema on how to investigate coronary kinks with noninvasive and invasive techniques.
