Outcomes of optical coherence tomography compared with intravascular ultrasound and with angiography to guide coronary stent implantation: one-year results from the ILUMIEN III: OPTIMIZE PCI trial.
Trial report in EuroIntervention : journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02471586 (ILUMIEN III), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
aimsIn the ILUMIEN III trial, among 450 randomised patients with non-complex lesions undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance led to greater stent expansion than angiography guidance, similar minimal stent area compared to both intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance and angiography guidance, and lower rates of uncorrected dissection and malapposition than both IVUS guidance and angiography guidance. Whether these differences impact on clinical outcomes is unknown. The aim of the present study was to report the 12-month clinical follow-up data from the ILUMIEN III study. METHODS AND
resultsOCT-guided PCI, using an external elastic lamina-based protocol, was compared to operator-directed IVUS-guided or angiography-guided PCI. Target lesion failure (TLF) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 12 months were adjudicated by a blinded clinical events committee. There were no significant differences in the rates of TLF (2.0% OCT, 3.7% IVUS, 1.4% angiography), MACE (9.8% OCT, 9.1% IVUS, 7.9% angiography), or any of the individual components of these outcomes among the groups. No independent predictors of 12-month stent-related clinical events were identified from final OCT.
conclusionsIn this underpowered study, OCT-guided PCI of non-complex lesions did not show a statistical difference in clinical outcomes at 12 months compared with IVUS or angiography guidance. An appropriately powered trial, including only complex patients and lesions, is underway to substantiate the potential clinical benefit of OCT-guided PCI.
