Effects of aggressive predilatation, sizing, and postdilatation strategy for coronary bioresorbable vascular scaffolds implantation.
Article in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2022. 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
backgroundThe results of the recent Amsterdam Investigator-Initiated Absorb Strategy All-Comers trial showed that the predilatation, sizing, and postdilatation (PSP) technique did not lower the long-term rates of scaffold thrombosis and adverse events. We evaluated the impact of aggressive PSP bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BRS) implantation on the short- and long-term clinical outcomes.
methodsFrom June 2014 to December 2016, 150 patients with BRS implantation were enrolled and received successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), of whom 104 received aggressive PSP technique (high-pressure predilatation and lesion preparation in addition to the traditional PSP technique). Short- and long-term outcomes were compared.
resultsAll patients underwent successful PCI and BRS implantation with final Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction grade 3 flow. The baseline and procedure characteristics were similar in both groups. Debulking techniques were used in 13 (8.7%) patients. Intracoronary imaging modalities were used in 73 (48.7%) patients. After BRS implantation, no adverse events were observed within 30 days in both groups. During the mean follow-up period of 2.98 ± 0.77 years, 12 (8.0%) patients experienced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including one cardiovascular death (0.6%), three nonfatal myocardial infarction (2.0 %), and 11 target-vessel revascularization (7.3 %). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that aggressive PSP remained an independent protective factor for MACEs. Moreover, the use of intracoronary imaging and rotablation atherectomy was associated with better clinical outcomes.
conclusionLesion preparation by aggressive PSP in BRS implantation was associated with better long-term clinical outcomes.
