Rota-Tripsy or step-up-approach rotational atherectomy for severe coronary artery calcification treatment: a comparative effectiveness study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Step-up-approach rotational atherectomy has been widely recognized in the treatment of severe calcified plaques. As an alternative, the rota-tripsy procedure is a novel strategy for the modification of calcification lesions. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of rota-tripsy and step-up-approach rotational atherectomy, given the limited clinical data available. Clinical data of 3652 patients with coronary calcification were retrospectively collected from February 2021 to February 2024. The cases were divided into two groups based on the technical approach. The primary efficacy endpoint was procedural success (stent expansion rate > 70% and no hospital major adverse cardiac events [MACEs]). The primary safety endpoint was the absence of serious angiographic complications and 30 days MACEs. A total of 37 patients (38 calcified lesions) screened and included in the study, with 18 cases (19 lesions) in group A and 19 cases in group B. The results showed no significant differences in primary efficacy endpoint. However, group A recorded a lower incidence of angiographic complications (P = 0.02) and shorter dose area product and fluoroscopy/interval times compared with group B (P < 0.01). For management of severe coronary calcification, both rota-tripsy and step-up-approach rotational atherectomy had favorable short-term clinical results; however, rota-tripsy provided improved safety and efficiency.
