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

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging high-resolution intravascular imaging modality that can provide physicians with critical information, thereby enabling precise characterization of plaque morphology and luminal geometry and facilitating pre-intervention lesion assessment. As OCT has a higher sensitivity for lipid-rich plaque characterization than intravascular ultrasound, vulnerable plaque detection by OCT has thus been investigated. By evaluating both the calcium thickness and arc, OCT can be the ideal method for determining both the indication and endpoint of rotational atherectomy for calcified lesions prior to stent implantation. OCT has become applicable for the optimization of stent implantation with immediate and semi-automatic quantification of stent apposition and expansion to achieve potentially better clinical outcomes. In bifurcation lesions, OCT allows the visualization of the stent-link location overhanging the side-branch ostium and the guidewire recrossing point prior to the final kissing balloon inflation through three-dimensional reconstructed OCT images, providing us with deep insights into the mechanical optimization of stent struts. Furthermore, recent studies have reported several OCT-derived predictors of adverse clinical events. Important limitations of OCT, including the excessive contrast volume needed and observation of aorto-ostial lesions, may partially be overcome through the use of low-molecular-weight dextran and a guide extension catheter. The clinical applications of OCT have been expanding, and evidence on its clinical utility has been accumulating.
