Coronary Bifurcation PCI-Part I: Fundamentals.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of bifurcation lesions remain one of the most technically challenging areas in interventional cardiology. Careful planning and execution are needed to preserve main vessel and side branch patency, with evolving evidence guiding the choice between provisional and two-stent strategies, and between individual techniques. This narrative review, which represents the first installment of a two-part series, synthesizes current knowledge on bifurcation PCI, detailing the anatomical classifications, lesion assessment tools, procedural planning, and execution of techniques including T and Protrusion (TAP), double-kissing (DK) crush, mini-crush, culotte, V-stent, and emerging modifications. We contextualize the choice of strategy within lesion complexity, procedural goals, and patient-specific considerations. This review is intended as a visual, practical, technique-focused reference for interventionalists and interventional trainees involved in the management of bifurcation lesions.
