Repeated Supera stent fracture following stenting for popliteal artery occlusion: a case report.

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
The popliteal artery segment is particularly challenging for endovascular treatment. Stents used for treating popliteal artery lesions are usually associated with an increased risk of stent fracture and re-occlusion. The Supera stent is designed to withstand mechanical stress, with a low risk of fracture. A man in his mid-70s with left popliteal artery occlusion was treated with a Supera stent implantation. After 5 months, he revisited our hospital complaining of left leg pain. Preprocedural computed tomography angiography showed popliteal artery occlusion associated with a Supera stent fracture. A new Supera stent was implanted at the previous stent fracture site. However, 3 months after the second procedure, computed tomography angiography showed popliteal artery re-occlusion associated with a repeated fracture of the Supera stent. A femoral-popliteal bypass was performed. At the 6-month follow-up, computed tomography angiography showed a patent graft. Our findings indicated that recurrent fractures occurred after additional Supera stenting at the previous Supera stent fracture site. Careful observation is necessary after deploying a new Supera stent for treating a Supera stent fracture because of the possibility of a repeated fracture.
