Compliance of a cobalt chromium coronary stent alloy--the COVIS trial.
Article in Current controlled trials in cardiovascular medicine, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundCobalt chromium coronary stents are increasingly being used in percutaneous coronary interventions. There are, however, no reliable data about the characteristics of unfolding and visibility of this stent alloy in vivo. The aim of this study is to compare cobalt chromium coronary stents with conventional stainless steel stents using intracoronary ultrasound.
methodsTwenty de novo native coronary stenoses < or = 20 mm in length (target vessel reference diameter > or = 2.5 and < or = 4.0 mm) received under sequential intracoronary ultrasound either a cobalt chromium stent (Multi-Link Vision; n = 10) or a stainless steel stent (Multi-Link Zeta; n = 10).
resultsFor optimal unfolding, the cobalt chromium stent requires a higher balloon deployment pressure (13.90 +/- 2.03 atm) than the stainless steel stent (11.50 +/- 2.12 atm). Furthermore, the achieved target vessel diameter of the cobalt chromium stent (Visibility-Index QCA/IVUS Multi-Link Vision 1.13 / Multi-Link Zeta 1.04) is more easily overrated by Quantitative Coronary Analysis.
conclusionThese data indicate that stent material-specific recommendations for optimal implantation pressure and different stent material with an equal design should both be considered in interpreting QCA-analysis.
