Dedicated Balloon Techniques for Coronary Calcium Modification.
Review in Interventional cardiology (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Coronary calcification represents a significant technical challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Fortunately, a number of balloon-assisted technologies are available to aid in the management of coronary calcification before stenting. Adequate lesion preparation is crucial in the successful management of calcified coronary lesions. Balloon-based techniques can be a safe and effective method of lesion preparation and, as such, are an integral part of an interventionalist's armamentarium. In this mini-review, we focus on the use of non-compliant balloons, super high-pressure non-compliant balloons, cutting balloons, scoring balloons and intravascular lithotripsy.
