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
The use of drug-coated devices in intravascular therapy is aimed at preventing neointimal hyperplasia caused by excessive proliferation of vascular smooth muscle and thereby restenosis. Although its use seemed initially promising, a recent publication has shown an increased risk of mortality with paclitaxel-coated devices, and there is an urgent need to reaffirm assessments of drug-eluting stents (DES).
objectiveThe aim of the study was to compare mortality and effectiveness of paclitaxel-coated stents and bare-metal stents (BMS) in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with long-term follow-up. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a single center randomized study, 256 patients with PAD were treated intravascularly with stent implantation. Patients were randomized into two groups: the first (n = 126) were treated with DES, and the second (n = 130) were treated with BMS. The study included evaluation after the procedure, after about 6 months and 36 months. Co-morbidities, with risks for atherosclerosis, were analyzed in all patients. Patients were evaluated for clinical outcome, restenosis frequency, and safety (complications and total mortality).
resultsClinical benefit at the end of the investigation was statistically significantly better in the DES group compared with the BMS group: 85.7% versus 66.2% (
conclusionsThe use of paclitaxel-coated stents gave good clinical benefit and caused a significantly lower frequency of restenosis compared to bare-metal stents. The use of paclitaxel-coated stents did not increase mortality.
