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

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides grayscale images of the entire vessel wall, and its technology has recently been improved, resulting in more accurate tissue characterization. Compared with conventional IVUS, high-definition (HD) IVUS provides better resolution, better image quality, faster acquisition and integration of processing tools for more efficient cath lab workflow. HD-IVUS includes transducers with higher frequencies (≥ 45 MHz), allowing a higher near field resolution combined with enough tissue penetration for a more precise assessment of the entire vessel wall. HD-IVUS preserves the potential advantages of conventional (40 MHz) IVUS over optical coherence tomography by adding a substantially higher spatial resolution. For this reason, this technology has generated increasing interest among interventional cardiologists and researchers to provide better detailed morphological evaluation on complicated plaques in acute coronary syndrome patients and better stent optimization. In this review, we provide the state-of-the-art on this technology and its current clinical applications.
