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

purposeTo evaluate the 3-year safety and effectiveness of the MDT-2113 (IN.PACT Admiral) drug-coated balloon (DCB) vs percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in a Japanese population with femoropopliteal occlusive disease. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe multicenter, prospective, IN.PACT SFA Japan randomized controlled trial (

resultsPrimary patency by Kaplan-Meier estimate was higher in the DCB group (68.9%, 95% CI 57.5% to 80.2%) vs the PTA group (46.9%, 95% CI 29.6% to 64.2%) at 36 months (log-rank p=0.001). The CD-TLR rates were 14.9% (10/67) for the DCB group and 20.7% (6/29) for PTA (p=0.554). The safety composite endpoint occurred in 83.6% (56/67) of DCB participants and 75.9% (22/29) of PTA participants (p=0.402). All-cause death was similar between groups at 36 months [DCB 6.0% (4/67) vs PTA 6.9% (2/29), p>0.999), with no device- or procedure-related deaths in either group.

conclusionThe final report of the IN.PACT SFA Japan trial showed that the IN.PACT Admiral DCB is safe and had durable outcomes through 3 years in Japanese participants with femoropopliteal occlusive disease.
