Core Tip	Kataveni et al’s recent meta-analysis was timely in a field with scarce randomized data. However, the authors appear to have included two manuscripts that used the same fractional flow reserve versus angiography for multivessel evaluation 3 population, and misclassified Di Gioia et al’s registry study as a randomized trial. Further clarification is warranted, and future editorial and reviewer oversight should be emphasized.
