Stent versus CABG: 30 days mortality (top) and stroke (bottom). The size of each box is proportional to the number of patients of the trial. The bars represent 95% confidence interval. The diamond represents the syntheses of results. DES: trials of the drug-eluting stent era. BMS: trials of the bare-metal stent trials era. CABG: coronary artery bypass grafting.
