1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesWe sought to examine by angioscopy the neointima formation and thrombogenic potential of the neointima after deployment of a drug-eluting stent (DES).

backgroundLate stent thrombosis after DES implantation, a major safety concern, has been associated with poor strut coverage by neointima. Intracoronary angioscopy provides a method for visual evaluation of stent coverage by neointima and detection of thrombus in the stented coronary segment.

methodsPatients undergoing implantation of a sirolimus DES (n = 57) were serially examined by angioscopy immediately after (baseline) and again at 10 months (follow-up) after implantation. The angioscopic color grade of the neointima from white to yellow was assessed in a semiquantitative manner. Stent coverage was classified into not covered (Grade 0), covered by a thin layer (Grade 1), or buried under neointima (Grade 2). The thrombogenic potential of the neointima was evaluated by the prevalence of thrombus on the neointima.

resultsThe maximum yellow color grade of the neointima within DES-implanted lesions increased significantly from baseline to follow-up (1.4 +/- 1.1 vs. 1.9 +/- 0.6, p = 0.0008). Even among lesions without yellow color at baseline, yellow color was detected in 94% (17 of 18) of lesions at follow-up. The prevalence of thrombus was significantly higher on the yellow than on the white neointimal areas. Thrombus was detected on yellow and/or Grade-0/1 neointima, but never on the white Grade-2 neointima.

conclusionsSirolimus DES promoted formation of atherosclerotic yellow neointima in the stent-implanted lesion at 10-month follow-up. Thrombus was detected more often on the yellow area than on the white area and was never detected where a stent was buried under white neointima. These data suggest that the increased potential risk of late stent thrombosis in DES lesions may be due to the newly formed yellow neotima and cholesterol-laden plaque.
