1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimThis study aimed to reveal whether a larger postprocedural minimum lumen area (MLA) would reduce restenosis risk after endovascular therapy (EVT) using drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in femoropopliteal (FP) lesions.

methodsThis retrospective, nonrandomized, single-arm, and multicenter registry analyzed patients with FP lesions undergoing intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided EVT with DCB between 2017 and 2021. The primary outcome was restenosis 1 year after EVT. The association between IVUS-based MLA and restenosis risk was investigated using a generalized propensity score (GPS) method to address imbalance of baseline covariates. The dose-response function of IVUS-measured MLA for restenosis risk was developed using the GPS-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression model.

resultsThis study enrolled consecutive 489 patients with 595 lesions undergoing DCB treatment. The median MLA (interquartile range) was 13.20 (9.90-16.91) mm

conclusionsThe present GPS analysis suggested that larger IVUS-measured MLA might be associated with lower risk of 1-year restenosis after DCB treatment for FP lesions.
