Optical Coherence Tomography in Acute Coronary Syndromes.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Angiography remains the standard imaging modality during cardiac catheterization; however, this technique provides only a two-dimensional representation of the coronary lumen, which limits the assessment of vessel wall pathology. In comparison, intravascular imaging techniques, such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), provide high-resolution cross-sectional and two-dimensional reconstructions of the coronary arteries. Thus, these modalities complement angiographic findings, enable detailed evaluation of underlying pathology, and facilitate precise procedural guidance. Advancements in imaging technologies, including near-infrared spectroscopy and virtual histology intravascular ultrasound, further enhance lesion characterization and procedural planning. An increasing body of evidence from registries, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses supports the use of intravascular imaging-guided percutaneous coronary interventions, demonstrating improved procedural success rates and superior long-term clinical outcomes. In the context of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), OCT offers critical diagnostic insights that enhance accuracy and inform optimal treatment strategies. This review highlights the evolving role of OCT in the management of ACS and the favorable impact of this technique on patient outcomes.
