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

Background The relationship between late stent malapposition ( LSM ) and adverse cardiovascular events is controversial. Studies are needed to evaluate long-term (>5 years) clinical outcomes of LSM detected by optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) after drug-eluting stent implantation. Methods and Results We investigated long-term clinical outcomes of OCT -detected LSM in 351 patients who received drug-eluting stents and were examined by both poststent and follow-up OCT (175±60 days after drug-eluting stent implantation) from January 2009 to December 2011. LSM was observed in 99 patients (28%). We evaluated the cumulative rate of composite events (cardiovascular death, target-vessel-related myocardial infarction, target-vessel revascularization, and stent thrombosis). During 80.1±24.5 months of follow-up, very late stent thrombosis did not occur in any patients with LSM . The cumulative 8-year rate of composite events was 7.3% in patients with LSM and 10.5% in patients without LSM ( P=0.822, log-rank test). We further divided patients into the following 4 groups: patients with both late-persistent and late-acquired stent malapposition (n=23), patients with late-persistent stent malapposition alone (n=45), patients with late-acquired stent malapposition alone (n=31), and patients without LSM (n=252). The cumulative 8-year rates of composite events were similar among these 4 groups (0%, 9.6%, 9.7%, and 10.5%, respectively; P=0.468 by log-rank test). Conclusions During long-term follow-up (>5 years), very late stent thrombosis did not occur in patients with OCT -detected LSM . The rates of adverse clinical events were similar between patients with LSM versus those without LSM . Presence of OCT -detected LSM was not associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes.
