Intravascular Lithotripsy vs Atherectomy in the Treatment of Calcified Common Femoral Artery Disease.
Article in Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Common femoral artery (CFA) disease is often heavily calcified and prone to low patency rates with endovascular treatment compared with surgical endarterectomy. Recent data suggest promising short-term outcomes with the adjunct use of intravascular lithotripsy; however, data on its midterm effectiveness are lacking. We compared clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) between patients receiving drug-coated balloon angioplasty with adjunct intravascular lithotripsy (IVL-DCB) vs adjunct atherectomy (Ath-DCB) for treatment of CFA disease. Methods: In a single-center retrospective cohort study, patients receiving IVL-DCB vs Ath-DCB for symptomatic CFA disease from January 2015 to March 2020 were included. The primary outcome was cumulative CD-TLR with angiographic restenosis ≥50%, estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis during 18-month follow-up and compared by log-rank test. Results: Total of 68 CFA lesions (Ath-DCB, 35; IVL-DCB, 33) were included. Patients had a mean age (standard deviation) of 72 (8) years and were predominantly male (63.3%) and White (92%). Mean baseline angiographic stenosis was 78% (11) in the Ath-DCB group and 70% (10) in the IVL-DCB group ( Conclusions: The safety and effectiveness of IVL-DCB were comparable to those of Ath-DCB in the treatment of calcified CFA disease during the 18-month follow-up. Further studies are required to verify these findings.
