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

Although previous optical coherence tomography (OCT) studies reported that restenosis tissue after implantation of a drug-eluting stent (DES) was composed of a variety of cells, the clinical significance of morphologic characteristics for in-stent neointimal tissue as assessed by OCT has not been clarified. We experienced a patient with stable angina who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with a 2.5 × 18-mm DES implantation 6 months before the OCT examination. OCT imaging showed a mild intimal hyperplasia (39 % neointimal hyperplasia) with eccentric, heterogeneous tissue, predominantly of low signal intensity. Seventeen months after the initial procedure, OCT revealed a significant increase in percent neointimal hyperplasia of 58 %, with morphologically different intimal tissue of concentric homogeneous high intensity in the stented segments. This finding suggests that low-intensity intimal tissue morphology detected by OCT could be a morphometric predictor of late neointimal tissue growth after DES implantation.
