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
PURPOSE Despite frequent use of self-expanding stents (SES) in treating obstructive arterial lesions in Takayasu arteritis (TA), spontaneous delayed stent expansion (SDSE) in TA remains unstudied. This study aimed primarily to document and quantify SDSE and secondarily to determine factors that might be associated with this process. METHODS Consecutive TA patients with obstructive arterial lesions undergoing routine percutaneous intervention involving SES use (sized 1:1 with normal vessel diameter but dilated only to 4mm/5mm) were recruited prospectively. Final stent diameters obtained were measured at 1cm intervals along the length of the stent using fluoroscopic images and an indwelling marker catheter. At angiographic follow-up, stent diameters were measured again in identical fashion. Interval change in stent diameter at each point was averaged for each stent. In a small sub-study intravascular ultrasound was used at follow-up to obtain potential mechanistic insights. RESULTS Seventeen TA patients (age 33 ± 13 years, 15 female) had 22 arterial obstructive lesions (16 occlusions, 18 subclavian) treated with one SES each. Follow-up obtained in all patients after 8.7 ± 3.8 months (range 3-18 months) showed interval increase in mean stent diameter of 1.6 ± 0.5 mm, range 0.7-2.8 mm (P < 0.001); 36% of stents achieved 100% of the nominal diameter at follow-up, while 90% of stents achieved ≥90%. The degree of SDSE did not correlate with the segment of artery stented or with TA disease activity at baseline. Intravascular ultrasound in four lesions showed that SDSE was associated with positive medial-adventitial remodelling and that neointimal hyperplasia occurs concurrently, causing in-stent luminal narrowing. CONCLUSION SDSE, to diameters equal or close to nominal, occurs in all stenotic TA lesions treated with SES. The degree of SDSE does not correlate with the segment of artery stented or with TA disease activity at baseline. Preliminary results suggest that the mechanism by which SDSE is accommodated by the arterial wall is by positive medial-adventitial remodelling.
