Real-world use of intravascular ultrasound in Japan: a report from contemporary multicenter PCI registry.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Clinical trial data suggest that intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) may improve clinical outcomes after PCI. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety of IVUS in its broader use for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A total of 11,570 consecutive patients undergoing PCI between 2008 and 2014 in Japan were analyzed. Associations between IVUS use, PCI-related complications were assessed with logistic regression and propensity score matching analyses. Subgroup analysis was performed in elective PCI patients. IVUS was used in 84.8% of patients (N = 9814; IVUS group); its use was almost universal in elective PCIs (90.8 vs. 81.7% in urgent/emergent PCIs, P < 0.001). The non-IVUS group were older (68.7 ± 11.4 vs. 67.9 ± 10.8 years, P = 0.004), with more comorbid conditions. The non-IVUS group had smaller stent lumens (2.97 ± 0.42 mm vs. 3.09 ± 0.45 mm, P < 0.001) and a higher proportion of plain old balloon angioplasty. After matching, a lower rate of flow-impairing coronary dissections was observed in the IVUS group, although this was limited only to elective PCIs, not among urgent/emergent PCIs (non-IVUS vs. IVUS; 2.7% vs. 1.0%, P = 0.018, 0.7% vs. 1.2%, P = 0.32, respectively). With a multivariate logistic regression analysis, IVUS use remained an independent predictor to reduce risk of flow impairing severe coronary dissection among elective PCIs (odds ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.22-0.66: P = 0.001). In this Japanese PCI registry, IVUS was used extensively during the study period, particularly in elective cases. Using IVUS was associated with a lower event rate of flow-impairing coronary dissections that was limited to elective PCIs, not among urgent/emergent PCIs, without increasing PCI-related complications.
