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
Objectives: This study aimed to determine characteristics and pattern of a calcified nodule (CN) and/or nodular calcification (NC) detected by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) on the device-oriented composite endpoint (DoCE) in patients with calcified lesions who underwent rotational atherectomy (RA)-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background: The characteristics and pattern of a CN and/or NC on clinical outcome remain unknown. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled patients who underwent RA-assisted PCI at Siriraj Hospital during August 2016 to April 2020. Preprocedural IVUS imaging was mandatory. CN/NC was defined as convex shape of luminal surface and luminal side of calcium with protrusion into the coronary artery lumen as assessed by IVUS. The primary outcome was cumulative of DoCE, defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and clinically-driven target lesion revascularization. Results: Two hundred patients were included. Primary outcome occurred in 14%. The cumulative DoCE was significantly higher in the CN/NC group than that in the non-CN/NC group (20.7% vs. 8.8%, Conclusion: The presence of a CN/NC in patients with heavily calcified lesions who underwent RA-assisted PCI was found to be associated with increased cumulative 5 year DoCE, especially in patients with an eccentric CN/NC. The clinical trial is registered with TCTR20210616001.
