Calcium Modification Therapies in Contemporary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Review in Current cardiology reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06177808 (Assessment of Cutting-Balloon Angioplasty With Novel Bioabsorbable Polymer-Coated, Everolimus-Eluting Stent in the Treatment of Calcified Coronary Lesions Guided by Intravascular Ultrasound), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.

Abstract
Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) has been known to be associated with worse Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) short- and long-term outcomes. Nowadays, with the increased prevalence of the risk factors leading to CAC in the population and also more PCI procedures done in older patients and with the growing number of higher-risk cases of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) PCI and PCI after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), severe cases of CAC are now encountered on a daily basis in the catheterization lab and remain a big challenge to the interventional community, making it crucial to identify cases of severe CAC and plan a CAC PCI modification strategy upfront. Improved CAC detection with intravascular imaging helped identify more of these severe CAC cases and predict response to therapy and stent expansion based on CAC distribution in the vessel. Multiple available therapies for CAC modification have evolved over the years. Familiarity with the specifics and special considerations and limitations of each of these tools are essential in the choice and application of these therapies when used in severe CAC treatment. In this review, we discuss CAC pathophysiology, modes of detection, and different available therapies for CAC modification.
