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

The technology of percutaneous coronary intervention for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease has evolved considerably since its inception. Though Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) reduces the rate of restenosis, long-term safety outcomes and persistent restenosis in complex lesion subset remain area of concern. Recently, Drug-Eluting Balloon (DEB) represents a novel treatment strategy for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. DEB demonstrated its added value in preclinical studies. Inspired by these results, several clinical trials particularly in complex lesion subsets have been started to explore the value of this novel treatment strategy in a broader range of lesions. This review would summarise material compositions and different characteristics and clinical outcomes of currently available DEB.
