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 minimum stent area (MSA) has been clinically established as a significant predictor of restenosis, thrombosis, and ischemia using intra-vascular ultrasound (IVUS). Unfortunately, IVUS measurements are far from routine because of significant cost of IVUS, the training required, the subjectivity of image interpretation and the time added to the procedure. The objective of this study is to verify the accuracy of a conductance catheter for stent sizing. Here, we introduce an easy and entirely objective device and method for real time determination of MSA. A 10 kHz, 35 μA rms current is passed through the external electrodes of an intravascular catheter while the conductance is measured across a separate set of electrodes. Both phantom and
