Overlapping implantation of bioresorbable novolimus-eluting scaffolds: an observational optical coherence tomography study.
Observational study in Heart and vessels, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Overlapping implantation of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds is frequently necessary, but its influence on vessel and scaffold structure has not been thoroughly analyzed previously. The aim of this study was to analyze the acute effects of overlapping implantation on BRS as determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT). A total of 38 patients with de novo coronary artery stenoses who underwent OCT in the context of implantation of novolimus-eluting BRS (DESolve, Elixir Medical Corporation, Sunnyvale, California, USA) were investigated. In 15 patients, overlapping implantation of two BRS was performed, while 23 patients with implantation of one single BRS served as the control group. OCT data were retrospectively analyzed regarding acute scaffold implantation results. There were no significant differences between the overlap and control group in terms of residual in-scaffold area stenosis, scaffold area, mean or minimal lumen area, eccentricity index, incomplete scaffold apposition area or malapposition. While strut fracture was slightly more frequent in BRS with overlap its incidence was low overall. In patients with overlapping BRS, overlap segments did not display smaller lumen areas than segments without overlap (mean lumen area overlap: 8.16 ± 2.97 mm
