One-year outcomes following primary stenting of infrapopliteal steno-occlusive arterial disease using a non-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent: Results from a prospective single-centre cohort study.

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
Background: Clinical outcomes using new generation drug-eluting stents designed specifically for infrapopliteal disease are not widely available, especially in comparison to paclitaxel-based therapies. This series reports 1-year outcomes in patients with diabetes and chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI) undergoing angioplasty, with a sirolimus-eluting tibial stent (Cre8, Alvimedica, Turkey), evaluating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of this new device. Outcomes were compared to matched patients undergoing infrapopliteal angioplasty using a paclitaxel-coated balloon (DCB). Patients and Methods: Patients with diabetes and CLTI requiring infrapopliteal intervention were recruited prospectively to undergo angioplasty and primary stenting using the Cre8 sirolimus-eluting stent between January 2018 and October 2020 at a single high-volume vascular centre; outcomes were compared to a group of patients with diabetes and CLTI who had undergone infrapopliteal angioplasty using a DCB. All patients were followed up for at least 12 months using a uniform protocol with duplex ultrasound and examination. The primary outcome measure was target lesion patency (<50% restenosis). Clinically driven target lesion revascularisation (CD-TLR), amputations, Rutherford stage, and mortality were also recorded. Results: A total of 54 patients (61 target lesions; median age: 69 years, 74% male) were included [27 with the Cre8 device (main group) vs. 27 with a DCB (historical controls)]. Primary patency at 12 months was 81% in the Cre8 group vs. 71% in the control group ( Conclusions: Primary stenting with the Cre8 stent is feasible and safe in diabetic patients and CLTI. When compared to patients undergoing angioplasty with a DCB, there were no significant differences regarding primary patency, CD-TLR, major amputations, and mortality at 12 months. Those treated with a Cre8 stent were more likely to have an improvement in their Rutherford stage.
