Cilostazol as a noninferiority pharmacologic option to paclitaxel in early intimal hyperplasia inhibition after venous balloon angioplasty in a rabbit model: a preliminary study.
Article in JVS-vascular science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 development of venous intimal hyperplasia (VIH) has not been fully studied. At present, there are no drugs approved for VIH inhibition; to investigate such alternatives, we aimed to compare paclitaxel with cilostazol in VIH early inhibition in a preliminary experimental model of balloon angioplasty. Twenty-eight male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: cilostazol (A) and paclitaxel (B), which underwent femoral vein barotrauma by a 4 mm balloon angioplasty. The VIH model was previously tested in controls obtaining an 80% increase of subintimal area (SIA) compared with veins without injury (from 0.12 mm CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Although veins have a thinner middle layer compared with arteries, smooth muscle cells appear to play an important role in venous stenosis after angioplasty. The study of smooth muscle cell response after barotrauma may have clinical applications in the endovascular treatment of venous stenosis, because at the moment, there is no medication indicated to prolong patency after venous endovascular procedures, for example in May Thurner syndrome. Paclitaxel and cilostazol seem to have a promising role. Finally, the present study could inspire a research line to reduce stent placement and increase patency after venous angioplasty.
