Percutaneous Intervention or Bypass Graft for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Figure 6

Forest plots showing an individual and pooled RR for RCTs comparing the MACCE in PCI vs. CABG for LMCAD at 5 years ((a) low SYNTAX, (b) high SYNTAX, (c) DES, (d) cardiovascular mortality, and (e) nonprocedural MI). The pooled RRs with 95% CI were calculated using random-effects models. Weight refers to the contribution of each study to the overall pooled estimate of the treatment effect. Each square and horizontal line denotes the point estimate and 95% CI for each trial’s RR, respectively. The diamonds signify the pooled RR; the diamond’s centre denotes the point estimate, and width denotes the 95% CI.
