Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study aimed to analyze the safety and mid-term outcomes of a hybrid treatment method combining rotational atherectomy (RA) with drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty in patients with femoropopliteal artery in-stent restenosis (ISR).
methodsThis single-center retrospective study enrolled patients from January 2018 to March 2022 who had femoropopliteal artery in-stent restenosis treated by RA and DCB. Preoperative demographics, operative details, and postoperative 12-month follow-up outcomes were analyzed statistically.
results38 consecutive patients (31 men; mean age 69.55 ± 9.18 years, range 54-91 years) with Tosaka II (n = 8) and III (n = 30) ISR were treated with RA Most patients had a high prevalence of typical vascular comorbidities. Overall, 50% of patients had chronic limb-threatening ischemia, and the average lesion length was 155.0 ± 54.8 mm. The primary patency rate, assessed by duplex ultrasound at 12 months, was 86.7%; 7.9% (3/38) of patients underwent target lesion revascularization (TLR). The overall mortality rate was 2.6% (1/38), and the ulcer healing rate reached 83.3% (5/6), with none of these patients requiring amputation. Subgroup analysis based on target lesion length (≥ 200 mm) showed that the 12-month primary patency rate was 75.0% for the ≥ 200 mm group and 95.5% for the < 200 mm group. Cox univariate regression analysis did not identify any risk factors affecting primary patency rate and freedom from clinically driven TLR (CD-TLR) at 12 months.
