Serial longitudinal changes of coronary calcified plaques with clear outer borders under intensive lipid management: insights from optical coherence tomography.

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
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for calcified lesions is one of the most challenging procedures related to worse clinical outcomes. To stabilize vulnerable plaques, intensive lipid management is recommended; however, the serial changes of calcified plaques under intensive lipid management are unknown. A total of 31 patients (mean age, 63 ± 10 years; men, 29 patients) who underwent PCI with intensive lipid management were retrospectively studied. We evaluated the serial longitudinal changes of calcified plaques with clear outer borders using optical coherence tomography (OCT) at two time points: at the time of PCI (baseline) and the chronic phase. The median interval from PCI to chronic phase was 287 (233-429) days. Twenty-eight patients (90.3%) had increased calcium volume at the chronic phase compared with those at baseline (2.6 [1.3-5.1] vs. 1.8 [0.7-4.3] mm
