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

backgroundWe report a conspicuous lesion in the proximal to ostial segment of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) occurring 28 years post-intervention in an 87-year-old man. CASE SUMMARY: The patient reported dyspnea on exertion. Intracoronary imaging revealed a spontaneous recanalized thrombus, which is a rare and mostly underdiagnosed entity. Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed. DISCUSSION: This multimodality appproach supported us, not only to recognize and understand the haziness at the LIMA graft, but also to guide our intervention of a LIMA bypass. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case presents the importance of intravascular imaging to reveal hazy lesions such as in our case.
