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

Drug-coated balloons (DCB) represent a novel clinical treatment modality for coronary and peripheral artery disease. Advantages over standard angioplasty and stent technologies including homogeneous drug delivery to the vessel wall, immediate drug release without the use of a polymer, the option of using balloon catheters alone or in combination with a bare metal stent, no foreign object that remains in the body, the potential of reducing antiplatelet therapy, and lower restenosis rates in some indications. As with drug-eluting stents (DES), one cannot assume a class effect for DCB. So far, data from randomized clinical trials identify the treatment of coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) and of de novo and restenotic lesions in peripheral artery disease as viable options. Furthermore, treatment of de novo lesions in small coronary vessels, bifurcation lesions, long lesions, pediatric interventions, and cerebrovascular applications are potential beneficial indications. In the coronary application, a strategy of DCB angioplasty with provisional spot-stenting in the case of severe dissections may become a better alternative in long and complex lesions, bifurcations, or in patients with contraindications for DES.
