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

backgroundThe BP-SES has an abluminally applied biodegradable polymer that is fully resorbed after 3-4 months but may have longer-lasting effects. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term vascular response to the novel Ultimaster™ sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES).

methodsBP-SESs, everolimus-eluting stents (DP-EESs), and bare metal stents were implanted in 22 coronary arteries of 15 mini-swine. All animals underwent optical frequent domain imaging (OFDI) to assess neointimal volume and quality at either 1 (n = 7) or 3 (n = 8) months and at 9 (n = 15) months and were euthanized at 9 months. Stents were subsequently histologically investigated to analyze the vascular response and maturity of neointimal tissue according to cell density.

resultsOFDI revealed greater regression in neointimal volume from 3 to 9 months with BP-SESs than with DP-EESs (-0.6 ± 0.5 mm

conclusionsWhile both BP-SESs and DP-EESs showed minimal inflammatory responses at 9 months, BP-SESs showed a trend for greater neointimal maturity and regression, which may be related to earlier completion of the vascular response.
