One-Year Follow-Up of Vascular Intervention Trials Disrupted by the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Use-Case landscape.
Article in Cardiovascular revascularization medicine : including molecular interventions, 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
introductionThe COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented impact on cardiovascular clinical research. The decision-making and state of study operations in cardiovascular trials 1-year after interruption has not been previously described.
methodsIn the spring of 2020, we created a pandemic impact task force to develop a landscape of use case scenarios from 17 device trials of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) interventions. In conjunction with publicly available (clinictrials.gov) study inclusion criteria, primary endpoints and study design, information was shared for this use-case landscape by trial leadership and data owners.
resultsA total of 17 actively enrolling trials (9 CAD and 8 PAD) volunteered to populate the use case landscape. All 17 were multicenter studies (12 in North America and 5 international). Fifteen studies were industry-sponsored, of which 13 were FDA approved IDEs, one was PCORI-sponsored and two were sponsored by the NIH. Enrollment targets ranged from 150 to 9000 pts. At the time of interruption, 5 trials were <20 % enrolled, 9 trials were 50-80 % enrolled and 3 trials were >80 % enrolled. At 1 year, the majority of studies were continuing to enroll in the context of more sporadic but ongoing pandemic activity.
conclusionsAt 1 year from the first surge interruptions, most trials had resumed enrollment. Trials most heavily interrupted were trials early in enrollment and those trials not able to pivot to virtual patient and site visits. Further work is needed to determine the overall impact on vascular intervention trials disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
